Most recently, unveiling a new menu, logo and store design with new President & CEO Patrick Sugrue leading the charge. ÒItÕs a new day at Saladworks. This company has experienced the kind of headwinds in just 24 months that most brands and managers would take 30 years to achieve. This is a testament to the true resilience of the brand as it has continued to delight guests,Ó Sugrue said. ÒMy goal now is to continue building on that foundation and to make the investments needed to create the kind of growth energy that has been lacking for a number of years. IÕm very optimistic about the years to come.Ó ÒSaladworks is built from a team that triumphs adversity and now, with new leadership, a new store design and a new menu, weÕre laying down a foundation thatÕs stronger than ever before. This strategyÑbuilding off of and enhancing our strengthsÑwill influence the kind of substantial growth that Saladworks deserves,Ó Sugrue said. Visit www.saladworksfranchising.com
