"This is a significant achievement for Muscle Maker Grill and we are thrilled to report our steady growth and continued expansion into the Midwest and West," he said. "Our truly unique concept of great food with your health in mind is gaining popularity throughout the U.S. We look forward to helping each of our new franchisees grow their local presence with unparalleled corporate support."

The 12 signed franchise agreements will result in the development of: Three units in Omaha and Lincoln, Neb.; three in Phoenix; three in Las Vegas; one each in Greensboro, Kernersville and Winston, N.C.; two in Chicago; three in Florida; three in New Jersey and two more in New York.

In addition to these new franchise agreements, an increasing number of current franchisees are purchasing additional restaurants.

The chain expects to expand its franchise system by 100 units in the next three years.

"Franchisees from across the country are recognizing that Muscle Maker Grill offers a unique investment opportunity," Silva said. "We plan to continue expanding our footprint to bring our nutritious, quick-service options to people nationwide."
