Having a strong entrepreneurial drive is nothing new for Nish Patel. It began right after he graduated college, when he launched a startup with some of his friends. But after working there for a few years, Patel decided he needed to pursue an opportunity that had the backing of a big company, while at the same time a better connection to his local community. That&#8217;s when he discovered that he could become a <a href="http://saladworksfranchising.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=saladworks-unique-restaurant-concept-and-innovative-store-design-fuels-multi-unit-franchisees-growth-5590" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Saladworks franchisee</a>. Patel had been dining with the restaurant chain for years&#8212;in fact, he would even go out of his way to stop there for lunch. So he talked to the corporate team and prepared to open a restaurant with his uncle and father in Pennsylvania. &#8220;The thing that stood out to me the most was the fact that even though Saladworks is a franchise, it&#8217;s a very local brand. The company works with each one of its owners individually to make sure the concept is successful in different communities,&#8221; said Patel. &#8220;At the end of the day, I joined the Saladworks team over other restaurant chains because I wasn&#8217;t just another number in their system. I didn&#8217;t just want to see my family&#8217;s business grow&#8212;I wanted the opportunity to help the brand grow as a whole.&#8221; Patel has been able to make that goal a reality. He now owns three Saladworks locations with his family&#8212;two in Pennsylvania and one in New Jersey. Their units have been successful on both the local and corporate levels, and one of their locations was even the first franchise to implement Saladworks&#8217; new store design. &#8220;Nish has really been an innovator for us. Not only does he have exceptional work ethic, he also brings a refreshing millennial perspective to the table that&#8217;s helping us take the Saladworks brand to the next level,&#8221; said Jena Henderson, vice president of brand services for Saladworks. &#8220;Those are all qualities that we look for in franchisees&#8212;it&#8217;s important for us to work with the best local business owners possible, especially as we continue to bring our new store design to new locations across the country.&#8221; The brand, which is currently in the process of making positive changes across its entire franchise system, rolled out a new restaurant layout in order to create a tech-friendly environment and attract new millennial customers. The new look and feel includes free Wi-Fi and power stations for customers to charge their phones, tablets and laptops. &#8220;The response to the new design has been overwhelmingly positive. Customer loyalty is through the roof&#8212;we&#8217;ve see double digit growth across the board this year,&#8221; Patel said. &#8220;It was exciting being a part of the first franchise to test out the new store design, even though we were creating the layout as we went along. Now that we know exactly what we&#8217;re doing, I can&#8217;t wait to bring the new Saladworks layout to our other locations.&#8221; Re-designing its image is par for the course at Saladworks&#8212;the brand has been changing what it means to serve fresh, entr&#233;e-sized salads for the past 30 years. <a href="http://saladworks.1851franchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=saladworks-unique-restaurant-concept-and-innovative-store-design-fuels-multi-unit-franchisees-growth-5590" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Saladworks&#8217; unique restaurant concept</a>, which offers more than 60 quality ingredients that are chopped in-house every day, is fueling the brand&#8217;s growth efforts across the country, along with passionate franchisees like Patel and his family. &#8220;I want to see Saladworks become a brand with hundreds of locations all over the U.S.,&#8221; said Patel. &#8220;Between the brand&#8217;s supportive corporate team and proven business model, there&#8217;s no doubt in my mind it&#8217;ll get there.&#8221;
