Clean Eatz finalizes multi-unit deal for Florida
April 25, 2023
Wilmington, North Carolina-based Clean Eatz has signed a multi-unit development deal to bring three locations to southeast Florida. Site selection is underway, with locations arriving soon in Boynton Beach, Jupiter and Wellington in Palm Beach County.
Spearheaded by Dave Schaefers, alongside his daughter, Kylie Schaefers, and two business partners, Ryan Spencer and Alex Wallace, the concept will be Dave Schaefers' legacy.
"Not too long ago, I was diagnosed with stage 3C cancer. I was fortunate in my recovery, and it made me rethink what I wanted to do and the impact I wanted to leave on those around me," Dave Schaefers said in a company press release. "Truly, it was only when I attended a Clean Eatz conference and experienced the passion, commitment, and culture of their franchise system firsthand that I realized this is what I wanted to leave behind one day. This brand is the legacy I wanted to leave my kids."
Clean Eatz has carved out a specific niche within the restaurant space, attracting loyalty not only from fitness enthusiasts, but everyday individuals and families wanting accessible, affordable, nutritious meal options capable of fitting any lifestyle, Co-Funder Evonne Varady said in the release.
"Florida has been core to the growth of the Clean Eatz concept since our early days, and as this deal shows, that hasn't changed, as the franchise is continuing to set up shop in new communities across the state," Varady said.
Clean Eatz launched in 2011 and started franchising in 2015.
