About
CHOP STOP IS NOT MERELY A RESTAURANT. IT’S AN ADDICTION!
When you chop a salad so fine you can eat it with a spoon, you get a flavor explosion in every bite—and a legion of customers addicted to your food!
MORE THAN A SALAD
Chop Stop offers a unique menu of customizable chopped salads and other fresh items with broad consumer appeal and lightning fast service times. Its West Coast brand recognition is the result of a following of fans (customers) from all walks of life including the-all-important millennials. “Fans” return for the healthy and delicious unique menu of customizable chopped salads, but, as a franchise owner, you will enjoy the successes of a healthy business model with a wide consumer appeal and a nine-year track record. Chop Stop prides itself on the training and support it provides its franchisees. Chop Stop will guide you through every step of the process from finding and negotiating a location to your grand opening and beyond.
CHOP STOP’S COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES
As our trademarked slogan indicates, our signature product is “More than a salad”. What exactly does that mean?
Chop Stop’s proprietary chopping techniques enhance both the flavor and texture of its chops. There’s “more” flavor than a traditional salad because you get a piece of every topping in every bite—a true fusion of freshness! And every spoonful has a delightfully crisp, crunchy texture. Customers “more” for their money. Each of the chopped salads weighs over a pound on average, with over 40 fresh toppings from which to choose.
Additional competitive advantages you will enjoy as a Chop Stop franchisee include:
- Lightning fast speed of service for the lunchtime market. The average time from start of order to receiving food is just over 3 minutes.
- Proprietary dressings that are deliciously addictive.
- Chopping preparation is difficult to replicate at home.
- Easy to transport, deliver, and eat on the go.
- Healthy eating is now the fastest growing segment of the restaurant industry.
WHERE CAN I OPEN A CHOP STOP?
Having the proper regional infrastructure to support franchisees is crucial. That is why our current efforts are limited: California, Nevada, Arizona and Oregon.
Chop Stop restaurants can operate efficiently in any number of locations, from malls and airports to regional power centers and freestanding drive-thru’s. The dining room features bamboo floors, green counters and dark wood furniture, creating an atmosphere that is both modern yet also warm and inviting.
Chop Stop build-outs are faster, easier, and less expensive than most other restaurants. First, its locations are compact (1,100-1,500 sq. ft.), saving money on both rent and construction costs. The kitchen buildout doesn’t require a hood, any cooking equipment, or a grease interceptor (subject to local regulations).
