WOWorks brand Saladworks has expanded its footprint across the US and Canada by opening 11 new stores in the first quarter of this year.
The new stores were opened in Nevada, Florida and Tennessee in the US and Ontario in Canada.
The company’s traditional and non-traditional retail presence was expanded by some new units opening within grocery stores.
WOWorks CEO Kelly Roddy said: “The growth Saladworks has experienced over the course of only a few months in 2021 has been extraordinary, especially considering the challenges the restaurant industry has faced due to the pandemic.
“We will continue to expand the brand through traditional and non-traditional formats to help bring Saladworks’ healthier options to more customers across the US and Canada.”
WOWorks now operates a total of 217 locations across the US and Canada.
