Nature’s Table Café to open in Florida, California and Carolina markets

May 24, 2011

Nature’s Table Café has signed two new franchise agreements to open restaurants in Orange County, California and in South Carolina. The chain also will be opening a new corporately owned location in Maitland, Fla., adding to the chain’s roster of more than 75 restaurants open in 10 states.

The new corporately owned restaurant will be housed at Orlando’s newest Class A Office Building, the FIS Office Building. This will be Nature’s Table Café’s fourth corporately owned location.

“As we grow the Nature’s Table concept around the country, our key strength is the flexibility of our restaurant prototype and opportunity for conversions,” said company founder and CEO Dick Larsen. “These new corporate locations will showcase our ability to convert existing spaces and thrive in non-traditional locations. Our office building prototype especially has attracted multi-unit developers who are looking to saturate a market with both traditional, fast casual locations and non-traditional sites.”

In addition to the new corporate restaurant, Nature’s Table also has signed agreements for two new franchised locations.

New franchisee Paul Lau, an experienced restaurant entrepreneur, has bought the rights to open a Nature’s Table Café in Orange County, Calif. Lau is currently evaluating real estate opportunities and his restaurant will be the second California location for the chain.

Additionally, plans for a Nature’s Table Café in either North or South Carolina are underway for new franchisee Christina Long. Long, a real estate professional, will be evaluating opportunities in both states.
