Bakery café Zebu Forno launches franchise program
June 20, 2007
RED BANK, N.J. — Zebu Forno, a European-style bakery and café, has announced plans to expand through the sale of franchises in other parts of New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania.
The announcement by the Red Bank, N.J.-headquartered Zebu Forno Franchise LLC follows the recent opening of the brand's first franchised location at The Commons at Holmdel, a major lifestyle shopping center in Holmdel, N.J.
The initial franchised unit joins the flagship company-owned location, opened in 2001.
"Our intention is to selectively build Zebu Forno into a strong regional brand through a program of controlled growth that focuses on great operators who are passionate about the business. The emphasis will be on quality rather than quantity," said Andrew Gennusa, president of Zebu Forno Franchise LLC.
Zebu Forno's menu includes fresh-baked breads, muffins, bagels, and pastries; breakfast sandwiches; homemade soups; Panini sandwiches, wraps and other hot and cold sandwiches served on home-baked breads; handmade thin-crust pizzas; fresh salads; quiche; gelato; a variety of coffees and teas; and a soft drink selection.
Gennusa co-founded the business in 2001 with his brother, Jason, and another partner who also had extensive experience in the restaurant industry. He subsequently acquired the interests of both partners. Prior to launching the concept, Gennusa had been an officer and director of The Manhattan Bagel Company.
