Sandella's opens San Diego County franchise market

August 13, 2009

Sandella's Flatbread Cafe franchise opportunities are now available in locations throughout San Diego County.

Carolyn Cohen and Stephen Crystal hold the Sandella's Flatbread Cafe master franchise rights for San Diego County.

"The food really sold us on the concept. We knew immediately that Sandella's would go over big with San Diegans," said Carolyn Cohen.

Sandella's Flatbread Cafes require a small kitchen footprint. Additionally, there are no grills, fryers, hoods or venting, so start-up costs are typically lower than that of many other franchises in this segment of the market.

Founded in 1994 in West Redding, Conn., Sandella's now has more than 150 locations nationwide and 400 more in development in the United States and the Middle East.

On Aug. 18 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m., Mike Stimola, CEO and founder of The Flatbread Cafe, will lead a Discovery Day at the Cohen Real Estate Group office in Solana Beach, Calif. Stimola will present franchise information, including details on franchise fees, initial investment and franchise support. In addition, several menu items will be prepared for sampling.
