Want to bring a new restaurant to town? These three want to talk
May 24, 2019
Before many national restaurants will come to Sioux Falls, they need to find a franchisee for the market.
Each chain has different requirements for franchisees in terms of the experience, investment and net worth required.
But representatives of these three say they would be interested in learning more about interested owners in Sioux Falls.
Captain D’s Seafood Kitchen
Fish and chips are the specialty at this Tennessee-based chain, which said it’s looking for suburban and rural locations.
They like to be near dollar stores, value grocers, mid-level hotels and similar quick-service restaurants.
The menu also included grilled seafood options. The chain has been in business for almost 50 years but is looking to grow nationwide.
Chicken Salad Chick
Chicken salad done more ways than you could probably imagine is the star of the menu at Chicken Salad Chick.
The Alabama-based chain offers spicy, fruity and savory varieties of chicken salad by the scoop or in a sandwich as well as a limited number of other menu items.
It’s adding 30 to 40 new locations annually.
Tropical Smoothie Cafe
Smoothies, wraps, sandwiches and flat breads are on the menu at Tropical Smoothie Cafe.
It’s growing fast, with 110 cafes opening last year and 191 franchise agreements.
There are more than 750 locations nationwide.
