Salsarita's Fresh Cantina is looking to outpace results from its successful 2014 as the brand expands throughout the U.S.     

Four new multi-unit franchise development deals were signed in 2014, with planned openings for Lewisville, Texas, Savannah, Georgia, Alpharetta, Georgia and Asheville, North Carolina. in 2015. An additional 22 locations will open in and around these same markets associated with these development agreements.   

In sum twelve new Salsarita's restaurants are scheduled to be opened in 2015. This, CEO Phil Friedman said, represents a high water mark for the restaurant chain since his acquisition in 2011 and a pivotal step in the continued evolution of the brand that turns 15 this year.

"Salsarita's is now in the perfect position to support both company and franchisee expansion properly for years to come. Franchisee interest throughout 2014 and so far this year is proof enough of that," Friedman said in a statement. "The confidence franchisees have expressed in us is tremendously telling of where Salsarita's stands in the industry as an opportunity for sustained growth."
