Muscle Maker Grill poised for growth

August 18, 2011

Muscle Maker Grill has announced plans to add 16 restaurants to its existing locations by the end of the year. This marks two years in a row of 100-percent growth in new unit openings.

As part of its growth, Muscle Maker Grill also is expanding geographically, as restaurants are scheduled to open in multiple states including California, Florida, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

“We are thrilled to report our recent growth and are confident our expansion will continue in 2012,” said Rod Silva, founder of Muscle Maker Grill. “We are fortunate to have found dedicated franchisees who are passionate about Muscle Maker Grill and expanding our brand. They are joining at a perfect time, as consumers are becoming more aware of their diets and looking for nutritious selections. We provide those health-conscious individuals with great tasting food that is also great for them.”

Silva opened the first Muscle Maker Grill in 1995 to offer people a nutritious alternative to fast food. In response to customers’ requests, he decided to turn Muscle Make Grill into a franchise in 2007. In four years, the franchise has grown to 44 locations in four states, with more than 100 restaurants under development.
