New Jersey gets first helping of Zoup

August 10, 2017

Soup lovers in Somerset, New Jersey, are getting their first taste of Zoup! today as the fast casual brand opened at 120 Cedar Grove Lane.

"My wife Charmayne and I are honored to open the first Zoup! in New Jersey and we can't wait to start serving up some award-winning recipes," Franchise Clinton Fleming, said in a company press release. "We've assembled a great team and we are ready to become an integral part of the Somerset community."

Zoup features hundreds of soup recipes with 12 rotating daily varieties, including low-fat, low-cal, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, served with freshly baked bread, according to the release. 

"We created Zoup! after discovering that really good soup is hard to find,” said Eric Ersher, Zoup's founder and CEO. “Also, in talking to people, it became clear that there's something special about soup and the way it elicits thoughts of family, well-being and comfort for many people. We strive to offer authentic, hand-crafted soups that are as good — and as 'feel-good' — as the homemade soups our mothers and grandmothers used to make."

Zoup has more than 100 units throughout the United States and Canada. A second New Jersey Zoup is scheduled to open in Flemington on Aug. 24.
