CNNMoney:

Spicy Pickle® fast casual restaurants today announced the sale of a multi unit restaurant development to a new franchise developer in Michigan, increasing the total number of franchises the Company has sold to 105.

A new franchisee with extensive restaurant experience has entered into a franchise and development agreement to open the first Spicy Pickle® Restaurants in western Michigan. Terry and Jean Henderson and Tiffany Cornelius will be the principals in the new development. These new franchisees have extensive experience as they have developed for Little Caesars Pizza, Big Apple Bagels & Qdoba Mexican Grill in the past. The development includes Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids, Ann Arbor, Lansing and E. Lansing, and calls for a total of 10 Spicy Pickle® Restaurants over the next several years.

Marc Geman, CEO of Spicy Pickle® Franchising, Inc., commented: ‘We are thrilled to have our first franchisee in the state of Michigan. The state of Michigan can support a significant number of stores, and having our first location could act as a springboard to additional franchisees and help us penetrate other regions within the state, particularly in the eastern part in and around Detroit.’
