CHOP5 Salad Kitchen is a fast-casual restaurant franchise founded in 2016 in Columbus, Ohio. Established by seasoned franchisees with experience in brands like Papa John's, Qdoba, and Starbucks, CHOP5 brings a wealth of industry knowledge to its operations. The brand is headquartered in Columbus and began franchising in 2024 after refining its concept over several years.
CHOP5 offers a menu centered around chef-crafted chopped salads, rice bowls, wraps, and sandwiches, all made fresh to order. Customers can choose from signature dishes or build their own meals with a variety of bases, proteins, toppings, and house-made dressings. The brand emphasizes freshness and flavor, with ingredients prepared and chopped in-house.
What sets CHOP5 apart is its commitment to a personalized dining experience and a focus on community. The brand's "Eat With No Regrets" philosophy underscores its dedication to providing healthy, flavorful meals without compromise.
Here's what you would need to invest if you were to start this franchise. These costs are provided by the franchisor in the Franchise Disclosure Document.
CHOP5 Franchise LLC provides a structured set of training and support programs to help franchisees effectively establish and operate their restaurants. These are the primary training components outlined in the disclosure document:
CHOP5 Franchise LLC provides limited territory protection to its franchisees. While each franchisee operates from an approved location, the Franchise Agreement does not guarantee exclusive territory rights.
This means that the franchisor may establish additional CHOP5 Salad Kitchen restaurants or authorize others to do so near an existing franchisee's location. The franchisor evaluates proposed sites based on several factors including visibility, traffic, and proximity to other CHOP5 locations or competitors.
Although site approval is required, and location is carefully reviewed, there is no promise that another CHOP5 unit won’t be placed nearby. As such, franchisees should be aware that they might face direct competition from other CHOP5 outlets even within the same general area.
