Miami Grill forms international leg to fuel global growth

October 24, 2016

To fuel international growth of Miami Grill and Salad Creations outside of the USA, the brand has formed Miami Grill International Inc with an international entrepreneur, Stephen Austin Saldanha, serving as chairman and CEO, according to a company press release.

Miami Grill is operating primarily in South Florida but has already started international growth with restaurants open or currently under construction in Guyana, Malaysia, Panama, Myanmar and Ecuador. Saldanha is also in discussions with potential franchisees in 12 other countries and 20 more cities, according to the release.

"The diversity of our brand has already brought success to our existing international franchises, and as we aggressively pursue more international locations, it makes sense to lay a foundation and put structure to our plans by forming a designated entity that brings laser focus to our goals," said Richard Chwatt, co-founder and CEO of Miami Grill Group.

"Stephen is an exceptional leader with a demonstrated international track record. We look forward to partnering with him on our expansion goals."
