Fort Lauderdale, Fla. / No. of units: 6

For Tossed, a brand specializing in fresh gourmet salads, crepe wraps and sandwiches, one of its biggest innovations has been the introduction of a smaller kiosk model that allows the concept to fit into a whole new set of in-line locations, such as malls and food courts, as well as in open-air settings. In addition to the development of the kiosks, Tossed also named Jason Chodash, founder of Tossed Franchised Corp. and the company’s current executive vice president, as its president. The title was previously held by Eric Schmitt, the chain’s current chief executive. Chodash originally hired Schmitt to grow the business outside of its New York City origins, and today the brand has a presence in the Northeast, East Central and Southeastern United States. The company also plans to open its first international unit in British Columbia in 2011.
