CHOP5 Salad Kitchen has forged a strategic partnership with Conscious Capital Growth (CCG), an acquisition and growth accelerator company, to accelerate its franchise development.

With this collaboration, CHOP5 enters CCG's Accelerator programme, a platform created especially to help early-stage businesses reach a fast development stage.

Conscious Capital’s platform includes accelerated franchise development systems, enhanced site selection expertise, and access to a comprehensive ecosystem of business resources.

Conscious Capital Growth managing partner Heather Elrod said: “Our Accelerator programme helps emerging franchise companies achieve their full potential by fuelling their franchise development and providing our ecosystem of mature franchise support and business intelligence resources.

“The combination enables healthy growth at an early stage of business. CHOP5 is ideal for this programme.”

The training is designed specifically for startups that need particular knowledge to enter a fast-growing phase.

Companies enrolled in the Accelerator programme are expected to maintain high standards of execution and deliver measurable monthly, quarterly, and annual business results.

CHOP5 Salad Kitchen co-founder and partner Brian Mills said: “A leafy salad is just a salad, but our chef-created chopped salads deliver every ingredient in every bite for a true flavour sensation. You can eat them with a spoon, and there's simply no comparison.

“Because my partners and I are franchisees ourselves, we wanted to create a franchisee-friendly brand and start development only once the system was proven.

“We're at that point now and are ready to award multi-unit territories to business and restaurant professionals looking for a blue ocean opportunity to diversify and catapult their companies' growth.”
