## Story

Oklahoma City-based restaurant chain Coolgreens is eyeing Kansas City for expansion of its healthy down-the-line concept. With a menu boasting of both fresh and seasonal options, diners can customized their meal for any mood or time of day.

"Coolgreens has made a real commitment to putting fresh, creative food first," VP of Franchise Development Clay Carson told the FEAST reporter. "Our corporate director of operations, Angelo Cipollone, also happens to be a chef, and has helped us streamline everything from our prep and operations to adding more international flavors seen on our menu items, most of which are under 600 calories.

Kansas City was targeted because of its similarities to Oklahoma City, with a new attraction to technology businesses which are bringing a younger and more affluent population to the area.

"Our franchise offering is strategically designed to provide the opportunity for quick success and expansion through the lens of multi-unit growth," Carson told the reporter. "This scalable approach, combined with the unique food creations that have made our corporate locations so successful, creates an exciting new opportunity in the healthy eating segment. We can't wait to build on the success we've seen in our hometown as we bring Coolgreens to new markets across the country."
