Slapfish to launch in Albuquerque

July 5, 2017

Slapfish has started construction at its newest location at Holly Center in Albuquerque, with a target opening date of late September, according to a company press release.

Chef Eric Wilson, the partner and operations manager for the Slapfish Albuquerque franchise, has more than 14 years of experience at local restaurants, with prior management positions at Red Robin, Elephant Bar and Flying Star.

"Slapfish gets rave reviews for delicious, eye-catching seafood dishes. Our restaurant will be a family-oriented, fun place to dine," Wilson said. "We'll be looking for the best talent and a friendly staff committed to the best customer experience."

Slapfish founder Andrew Gruel has grown the seafood fast casual concept from a food truck to a restaurant chain with locations in California and Utah. His franchise expansion plan includes opening restaurants in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Texas and Nevada, and internationally in South Korea and the United States.
