QSR Magazine: Zoup! to Open First Seattle Location

The nation’s leading soup franchise—Zoup!—is opening its first location in Seattle. The brand has officially broken ground on its new restaurant, which will be located at 1410 228th St. SE in the Canyon Park Place shopping center. It’s expected to open its doors for business in mid-April.

The franchise is being spearheaded by owner Kari Hingst. She told QSR Magazine, “We’re thrilled to bring Zoup!’s award-winning recipes to Seattle. Zoup! is an absolutely wonderful and unique restaurant concept, and we know that our friends and neighborhoods in the area will love the fresh, delicious soup we’ll be serving, along with our sandwiches and salads.”

Zoup! offers customers hundreds of award-winning soup recipes, with 12 soups rotating on its daily menu. Those recipes take dietary restrictions into account, and are each served with a piece of freshly baked bread. Zoup! also offers made-to-order salads and sandwiches.

“We created Zoup! after discovering that really good soup is hard to find,” said Eric Ersher, Zoup!’s founder and CEO. “Also, in talking to people, it became clear that there’s something special about soup and the way it elicits thoughts of family, well-being and comfort for many people. We strive to offer authentic, hand-crafted soups that are as good—and as “feel-good”—as the homemade soups our mothers and grandmothers used to make.”
