As more people continue to implement a healthier lifestyle, restaurants throughout the nation are evolving to add to and change their menus to accommodate those with diet restrictions. <a href="http://saladworksfranchising.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=emerging-franchisors-to-watch-saladworks-2705864" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Leading health-conscious fast-casual brand Saladworks</a> has a menu that not only solves the problem for guests looking for a nutritional meal, it also offers several other tasty meats, cheeses and hearty toppings to satisfy customers of all different lifestyles.

At <a href="https://saladworks.1851franchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=emerging-franchisors-to-watch-saladworks-2705864" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Saladworks, all menu items are made to order</a> from a wide variety of fresh cut vegetables, fruits, proteins and dressings. Guests can build their own leafy bowl or enjoy one of the brand&rsquo;s hand-crafted seasonal salads, homemade sandwiches or creamy soups. Saladworks continues to defy the healthy sector of the fast-casual industry with its unique menu offerings.

&ldquo;We do our due diligence when it comes to working with the right suppliers,&rdquo; Saladworks CEO Patrick Sugrue. &ldquo;We want to source our ingredients from someone who will deliver the freshest, safest and most delicious food, not go with the easy option.&rdquo;

The brand is the innovator of the quick-service salad concept, first opening its doors in 1986 and now servicing communities in thirteen states and two countries through its roughly 100 locations. Saladworks hires on seasoned franchisees to add to its family and opens locations in strategic and convenient marketplaces, including areas in major metro markets or venues that are highly populated, like college campuses and food courts.

After strongly establishing itself in the health-conscious fast-casual market on the East Coast, Saladworks is beginning to grow throughout the country to provide more communities with its unique menu offerings. The brand has already expanded in the Midwest, with successful locations in Chicago and Bowling Green, and will continue to spread across the country by developing into previously untapped markets.

&ldquo;Due to our proven business model, there is great potential for Saladworks to expand our national presence in open territories surrounding up-and-coming cities that are poised for greater business growth,&rdquo; said Sugrue.&nbsp; &ldquo;We aim to bring on more franchisees interested in investing in a business that is on trend through its targeting of millennials, implementation of technology and ability for guests to personalize and customize their meals,&rdquo; he added.

Saladworks is looking for potential investors with a passion for salads and healthy living. The brand thrives off of its current unit owners who have a love for serving people through hard work, enthusiasm and quality food.

&ldquo;We&rsquo;re actively making steps to raise the bar in the industry, and we&rsquo;re confident that we&rsquo;ll continue to see success as we expand in new communities across the country with the help of our franchisees,&rdquo; said Sugrue.

With a fitness-forward menu, experienced franchise owners, a supportive corporate team and loyal customers, Saladworks carries on its growth spurt from 2017 and continues to grow in the healthy fast casual industry.
