Founder and CEO Dave Sobelman spoke with The Herald-Times about the brand and its plans for the Bloomington area.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div id="pastingspan1"> </div><div id="pastingspan1">According to the article, despite the fact that <a href="https://sobelmanspubgrill.1851franchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=the-herald-times-sobelmans-pub-n-grill-targets-indiana-college-towns-for-expansion-4960" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sobelmans</a> might have to jump through a few hoops to secure the historic buildings they prefer, the brand could be a great fit for the Indiana University campus based on its success at Marquette.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div id="pastingspan1"> </div><div id="pastingspan1">Said Sobelman, &#8220;This concept might not make it in L.A. or downtown Manhattan, but in the Midwest, this is America&#8217;s food, and it&#8217;s so much fun. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll fail anywhere I go, but a college town almost assures success. I don&#8217;t know that I want it to be predominantly a college bar, but if it fits the bill, that&#8217;s fine with me.&#8221;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div id="pastingspan1"> </div><div id="pastingspan1">The article also discusses the Sobelmans brand, including their famous bloody marys, and mentions that unlike some chains they are only looking to open a few locations at a time.</div><div>&nbsp;a</div><div id="pastingspan1"> </div><div id="pastingspan1">Said Sobelman, &#8220;I find that the government doesn&#8217;t usually help small businesses, and that&#8217;s frustrating. I don&#8217;t think of myself as a chain or a franchise restaurant. The concept is so cool and unique, even if it is a franchise, it doesn&#8217;t feel like a franchise. That&#8217;s our brand. I don&#8217;t want to be in a mall, I don&#8217;t want to be in a strip mall; it&#8217;s not who we are.&#8221;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div id="pastingspan1"> </div><div id="pastingspan1">Click <a href="http://www.heraldtimesonline.com/news/business/wisconsin-based-restaurant-chain-weighs-options-as-it-eyes-bloomington/article_0b1dde05-8c3f-5358-bf48-7751ccf2ab8f.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=the-herald-times-sobelmans-pub-n-grill-targets-indiana-college-towns-for-expansion-4960" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a> to read the full article.</div>
