Additional 9 signature neighborhood bakery cafes to open as part of multi-unit franchise agreement.

DALLAS - Sept. 4, 2013 // PRNewswire // - Corner Bakery Cafe today announced plans to open as many as nine new restaurants in the San Diego area as part of a new multi-unit restaurant franchise agreement with FEAST California Cafe, LLC.

The group of veteran hospitality operators, which through its FEAST Foods, LLC partnership group, owns and operates 170 Jack in the Box restaurants in Southern California and the Pacific Northwest U.S., as well as several Denny's restaurants in Southern California, plans to open its first restaurant next year. These nine new locations will add to the three Corner Bakery Cafe locations currently operating in the San Diego area.

"Corner Bakery Cafe has a clear understanding of their brand vision, which is consistently demonstrated by the way they bring to life their core values in everyday business," said Ben Eramya, owner and operator of FEAST Foods, LLC. "I am in absolute love with the food and the diverse menu options Corner Bakery Cafe offers. The leadership team has a great understanding of how dynamic quality food is important to attracting guests to the brand. And the leadership team clearly has an understanding of how important it is to involve and embrace its franchisees in efforts towards bringing their brand vision to life, which will surely enable the brand to remain relevant in the guests' eyes forever."

Currently, the fast-casual brand has franchise agreements for a total of almost 300 cafes, as the company moves forward on its goal to more than double its U.S. footprint in the next three to four years. Much of the rapid growth can be attributed to Corner Bakery Cafe's emphasis on multi-unit national expansion and commitment to partnering with respected franchise leaders and operators in the restaurant industry who bring value and expertise to the brand.

"We're excited to expand our presence in the San Diego area," said Gregg Koffler, Vice President of Franchise Sales for Corner Bakery Cafe. "San Diego is the perfect place for each new restaurant to quickly become a favorite gathering place for local families and friends. As a leading brand in the fastest growing segment of the restaurant industry, there is no question that Corner Bakery Cafe has an advantage with *$2.3 million AAVs and outstanding unit level economics."

Corner Bakery Cafe's made-to-order menu features hot breakfast scramblers, signature paninis and sandwiches, homemade soups, hand-tossed salads, pastas and indulgent sweets while providing a place to gather with family and friends.
