For more information and a complete schedule of events, visit Snappy Salads founder creates Big Sal s concept Dallas, TX After years of being asked, When are you going to franchise Snappy Salads, Chris Dahlander, founder of the award-wining salad-centric chain, Snappy Salads, is ready to franchise Big Sal s, a smaller version designed specifically for non-traditional sites such as airports, college campuses, and malls. Big Sal s is a smarter version of Snappy Salads, Dahlander said. I ve taken all of the experiences and lessons learned over the past six years and packed them into an easier-to-run restaurant. Big Sal s is an outcome of a two-year incubation period where new ideas and operating procedures were tested, refined or thrown out in order to create a successful business model. Big Sal s caters to people who want big portions of food served quickly in a cool environment. Big Sal s offers guests a create-your-own-salad option as well as Big Sal s Favorites that take the guess work out of creating a great-tasting salad. Big Sal s also is known for its Big Baked Potatoes, premium soups, madeto-order wraps, and picnic salads, making it the spot to dine no matter what you want to eat. This isn t the typical cut-a-bag-openand-pour-it-out type of operation. Most food items are prepared on site creating a crave-able dining experience that more and more guests expect these days. At the same time, the equipment requirement has been minimized so the upfront capital commitment is lower. I m excited to offer this business opportunity to folks who are passionate about serving guests great food in a casual environment, says Dahlander. We are going to be very selective with whom we decide to partner because we have to ensure their success as well as the brand. After 8-years of eating pasta, hamburgers, and enchiladas, Chris looked at himself in the mirror and saw something that he didn t want to be fat. As Director of Marketing for Brinker International s Romano s Macaroni Grill, Dahlander decided it was time to create a restaurant based on his needs: fast and healthy. He opened the first Snappy Salads in March 2006 and the first Big Sal s in August Since then, he has opened two additional Snappy Salads locations and three Big Sal s restaurants. Garbanzo s announces first Texas franchisee Denver-based Garbanzo Mediterranean Grill, a fast-casual restaurant concept specializing in fresh, authentic Mediterranean cuisine, announced the awarding of a franchise opportunity to Texas-based franchisee Blue Jean Food Group (BJFG).

The first location is slated to open in San Antonio in late summer BJFG is a family owned and operated restaurant group, which currently owns the full service seafood restaurant Pelican s Landing in Port Aransas, Texas, and previously was involved in the Big Boy concept, also in Texas. We could not be more thrilled about joining with Blue Jean Food Group to introduce Garbanzo to the San Antonio and Austin markets, says Bob Bafundo, Garbanzo director of franchise development and operations. Blue Jean Food Group is a top-rate operator with tremendous experience and knowledge of the San Antonio and Austin markets, ideal for launching and establishing our fresh, authentic Mediterranean concept in their home state. We welcome them to the Garbanzo family and anticipate a strong and successful relationship. Garbanzo has strict qualification criteria for potential franchisees. Only experienced, successful multi-unit restaurant operators who are well capitalized and interested in additional multi-unit growth with the Garbanzo brand are considered.

3 I was shaving this morning and I noticed that over time one of my sideburns had grown longer than the other. It took time to grow that long but I never saw it until this morning. Why didn t I see it? Why did none of my friends or wife see it and tell me? It started me thinking about what else was growing that I didn t see in my business. What about things that are growing in your business that you don t see? One good way to take a look at what you are doing is to stand in the front door of your restaurant and look at the facility as if you were a customer seeing it for the first time. Take an objective look. The old adage is people eat with their eyes first. Your customers can tell you the problems at a glance. When you stand back and look start with the appearance of the dining room. 1. Floors - Are the carpets torn, spotted or generally dirty? 2. Walls - Is the paint chipped, wallpaper coming off or torn? Are pictures outdated? 3. Tables, Chairs and Booths - Are the seats ripped? Is the layout inviting? Are there tables waiting to be cleaned? 4. Is the dining room your office? The booth or table in the back should not be the place for your laptop and papers to be seen by customers. 5. Does the restaurant have a theme? 6. Does the wait staff wear uniforms or what ever they decide to wear? 7. Are the salt & pepper shakers etc. Appell Pie Objectivity Howard Appell Today s Restaurant Publisher clean and not sticky to the touch? If you see any or all of these items you need to do a quick make over to correct the problems. Consult a designer or friend with a sense of style. Once you enter the door and correct the appearance problems you need to look at your Marketing Plan or lack of one. You need to connect with your potential customers using every means available today in this fast paced technology based economy. Collecting data on your customers will lead you to increased sales. Addresses - Almost everyone has an address and you have to find a way to get your customers to submit their address to you for future use. A few years ago I wrote about the High School Club started by a restaurant that led to huge sales increases by collecting data and using it. (Contact me for details). Data Collecting, Advertising, Loyalty Programs, Coupons and Public Relations should all be included in a well-rounded Marketing program. If you need help running any of these pieces of your Marketing puzzle consult a professional. Taking an objective view of your Business on a regular schedule will avoid the loss of business that will occur when any of these items are neglected. Running a successful business is a 24/7 job but you need to take the time to make corrections on the fly. NO MAGNETS!

The chain features signature dishes, such as big as the plate Buttermilk Pancakes, Stuffed Biscuits and Gravy as well as other unique daily offerings like homemade grits and the Tex Mex Omelette.
