Anaheim Hills, Calif. — WaBa Grill is growing its footprint throughout Northern California with a new development deal that will bring 20 more restaurants from Fresno to Sacramento. The 20-store development deal was signed by longtime WaBa Grill franchisees Gurpreet and Navreet Boparai, who currently own and operate three WaBa Grill locations in Ventura County. The Boparais now will develop the brand in 16 California counties, some being first-time markets.
“One of our primary development goals has always been the expansion of WaBa Grill throughout the West with strong and dedicated franchise partners who are passionate about the brand. Given their previous success with WaBa Grill in Southern California, not to mention their considerable brand commitment, we have the utmost confidence in the Boparais to introduce WaBa Grill to Northern California,” says Steven Wang, director of real estate, development & construction at WaBa Grill. “As the healthy rice bowl segment continues to flourish, we are proud and grateful to see our brand leading the surge, and we are excited to have signed multiple development deals this year that will introduce our brand to many new markets and keep WaBa Grill on pace with the growth trend in this sector.”
WaBa Grill was founded in 2006 on the principle that healthy food made with quality ingredients should be accessible to all, offering better-for-you options packed with fire-grilled proteins, healthy grains and fresh vegetables. Protein choices are plentiful. The nearly 200-unit brand is primed to continue expansion, having identified ideal markets throughout the West.
