Last Friday, Oct 14, a new construction permit for 14555 State Road 70 E filed with the city of Bradenton was updated, paving the way for what could be the first standalone Saladworks franchise in the state of Florida.
The healthy fast-casual alternative doesn’t have any restaurants in the state listed on its website, however, in March of this year, it did announce a 20-unit “ghost kitchen” expansion in central Florida, capable of delivering meals throughout the region. One of those ghost kitchens, which operates in tandem with the Winghouse Bar & Grill brand, is located at 5105 14th St W in Bradenton.
It’s unclear whether the new Bradenton outpost will be a ghost kitchen or a fully-fledged quick-service restaurant.
GGGG US LLC, the company franchising the new Bradenton location, did not return a request for comment. Likewise, What Now Tampa was unable to confirm an opening date.
Founded in Cherry Hill, NJ in 1986, Saladworks – which boasts some 150 locations across the country – “strives to be original in everything we do, so we can deliver ‘Wow!’ Moments for our guests everywhere a Saladworks is enjoyed,” the company writes on its official website.
