## Story

Patrick Sugrue was recently named Saladworks' new President and CEO last week. Sugrue takes over the helm of a brand in the midst of revitalized growth involving a brand new store design and a new menu.

Sugrue joined Saladworks from Sofina Foods, an Ontario-based deli-meats chain where he had been COO after Sofina bought a company he used to run, Frearmans Pork. Earlier, Sugrue was chief operating officer at the 400-store Honeybaked Ham Co. chain. He's also a board member at Imvestor, a Canadian company that operates pizza, steakhouse, Italian food and fried chicken/salad chains.

Saladworks was founded in 1986 and began franchising in 2001, growing rapidly to 100 units by 2008. A new plan calls for a new architectural layout, design and artwork and a more technology-friendly atmosphere with free Wi-Fi and power sources. The new store design creates a more farm to table style, open concept architecture. The launch of the first restaurant redesign is taking place in Newtown, PA last month."
