Clean Eatz Reports Q3 Sales Growth and Unveils Plans for New Restaurant Prototype in 2027

Clean Eatz is reporting positive third-quarter results as it prepares for its next phase of growth, including the introduction of a new restaurant prototype, Clean Eatz 2.0, in 2027.

The fast-casual restaurant franchise reported a 2.2% increase in overall sales during the third quarter, including an 8.6% increase in café sales and a 5.6% increase in grab-and-go sales. The brand also reported 16 consecutive weeks of positive performance, building on first-quarter results that included a 3% increase in franchisee profitability and a 1.6% increase in average check.

Supporting that momentum is the brand's five-revenue-stream model, which includes weekly meal plans, grab-and-go meals, café dining, catering, and retail products. Meal plans and grab-and-go offerings account for approximately 75% of the brand’s business, helping make Clean Eatz part of customers' regular routines beyond traditional restaurant visits. The brand also earned a spot on the Franchise Times 2026 Top 400 list, which ranks the largest U.S.-based franchise systems by global systemwide sales.

“It's encouraging to see the momentum we're building at Clean Eatz, especially in our café and grab-and-go sales,” said Evonne Varady, co-founder of Clean Eatz. “We've always believed healthy eating should be accessible and easy to fit into everyday life, and Clean Eatz 2.0 is another way we're working to bring that experience to more communities. By lowering the initial investment for franchise owners, we're opening the door for more people to grow with our brand while staying true to what makes Clean Eatz special.”

Designed with a smaller footprint, a more traditional quick-service layout and reduced equipment requirements, Clean Eatz 2.0 is expected to streamline restaurant development and lower initial investment costs by approximately 20% for new and existing franchisees. The first locations are planned for Wyoming and Ohio in 2027, with additional details and opening timelines to be announced.

Menu innovation is another priority for Clean Eatz as higher-protein foods, personalized nutrition and flexible dining options continue to influence consumer preferences. An upcoming menu refresh will feature new protein options and ingredients such as bison, ahi tuna, salmon, protein pasta and ancient grains. The updated offerings follow the introduction of Shred, Builder and GLP-1 meal plan bundles in April, giving customers more ways to find meals that fit their individual goals.

Clean Eatz continues to attract a broad mix of community-minded franchise candidates, including first-time business owners, military veterans, fitness professionals and experienced multi-unit operators who want to build a business with a purpose. Its franchise opportunity combines a diversified restaurant model, comprehensive training and ongoing support with a mission centered on helping people live healthier lives.
