Tampa-based SoFresh, an emerging fresh casual concept that serves nutritious, made-to-order meals that are quick and healthy, will open its 15th location at Champions Gate, according to John Williams Jr., SoFresh founder and partner/vice president operations. Additional locations in Palm Harbor, Longwood, and South Florida are currently under construction.
“Champions Gate will keep us on track for expansion into the Orlando area,” says Williams. “We plan to open during first quarter 2022.”
“Champions Gate will be the company’s first self-ordering kiosk prototype,” Williams adds. “We have put a strong emphasis on technology with a new app and online ordering platform that launched 90 days ago with tremendous success, and now the implementation of a full kiosk front of house ordering system for convenience and expedited ordering process.”
According to Clay Donato, SoFresh partner/vice president development, the Champions Gate location will be adding close to 30 new jobs in the market. Since its first location opened in 2014, SoFresh has created more than 350 jobs in its market locations.
SoFresh continues its rapid expansion throughout Florida and is currently seeking franchise partners in the Central and South Florida markets.
