Vapiano Signs Multi-Unit Franchise Deal In Massachusetts

Franchise Wire:

Vapiano, named the ‘Future of Fresh Casual’ by Foodservice Europe, secured its first franchisee in Massachusetts this week. The new franchisee will develop 3 Vapiano restaurants in the greater Boston area and expects to open his first restaurant by early 2009.

‘Vapiano has been very successful around the world and continues to gain momentum here in the US,’ says Kent Hahne, Vapiano President. ‘I am pleased to announce that our concept will be opening in Boston as soon as next year.’

Vapiano has grown from a single unit to 31 locations open in only three years. Many of their restaurants can be found throughout Germany, in key European markets such as Zurich, Vienna, Istanbul, Budapest and now the United States. Vapiano has already opened three corporately owned restaurants in the greater Washington, D.C. area and plans to open 3 additional corporately owned restaurants in the same area over the next few years to serve as the launching pad for an aggressive U.S. expansion.
