Giardino Gourmet Salads on aggressive expansion track

January 16, 2019

Giardino Gourmet Salads, a Florida-based concept, is continuing to expand across Miami with multi-unit franchisees, Jaime Mitrani and Robert Fuerth launching their fifth restaurant in the Blue Lagoon business district.

"Our secret to continued growth includes passionate franchise owners like Jaime and Rob who provide a high-level of customer service to guests every day," said Ody Lugo, Giardino Gourmet Salads co-founder and board member, in a press release. "We're thrilled that Jaime and Rob continue to reinvest in the brand through the opening of new units and the acquisition of additional existing restaurants."
 
Miami natives Mitrani and Fuerth launched their first Giardino Gourmet Salads restaurant in South Miami in 2012, then built a new restaurant in Miami Lakes, where they took on an additional partner in Lilly Tudela, and acquired existing restaurants in Palmetto Bay and Kendall, which was followed by the recent opening of their newest restaurant.
 
"When we were searching for a company to invest in, we knew we wanted a lifestyle brand that would resonate with millennials and carry over into other generations as well," said Jaime Mitrani in the release. "Giardino Gourmet Salads fit that mold because there is a genuine need across South Florida for real, simple food that is handcrafted for people that are focused on nutrient-rich ingredients instead of another burger."
