Noodles & Company, the Colorado-based restaurant concept that serves made-to-order noodles, salads, soups and sandwiches, has a new development agreement with franchise group Hartford Noodles LLC, based in Hartford, Conn. The new franchise partner will open its first store in Hartford County, Conn., in 2012, with several locations coming in the next five years.
"The management at Hartford Noodles has a proven history of introducing restaurant brands in New England," said J.B. Hewetson, franchise firector at Noodles & Company. "Their track record of opening and operating strong restaurant locations underscored our belief they were the right partners to help us grow in the Northeast."
This year, Noodles & Company was ranked as one of the Top 10 fastest-growing chains by Technomic Inc., and named one of Parents magazine's "10 Best Restaurant Chains."
