Broomfield, Colo. — Noodles & Company has launched a multi-unit franchise growth initiative to increase its presence in southern and southwestern markets. With plans to expand an off-premise oriented footprint perfectly suited for today’s consumer environment, this expansion will be fueled by company locations, existing franchisees as well as potential new partnerships with experienced multi-unit franchise owners. The planned expansion will target select DMAs including Alabama, Florida, Georgia, New Mexico, South Carolina and Texas.
Noodles & Company already offers delivery, curbside pickup and takeout, and its off-premise capabilities and digital strength uniquely position the brand to meet the needs of today’s fast-casual environment and take advantage of long term consumer trends. To support the planned growth. Noodles & Company recently hired a vice president of franchise development, John Ramsay, who has tremendous franchise experience and is bolstering the brand’s franchise partnership efforts.
Adds Ramsay: “The restaurants that we have opened over the past 2 years have been our best performing vintage of restaurants in the company’s history. We’re confident that Noodles & Company is poised for success in our key markets and excited to grow our presence in these new communities.”
