Saladworks looks to Greater Boston to expand

Saladworks, a chain of fresh tossed-salad franchised restaurants, said it has identified Greater Boston as ideal territory for expansion.

The Pennsylvania chain, which has 96 franchise locations, said it has signed an agreement with a multi-unit developer that is exploring opening Saladworks restaurants in Cambridge and in Boston's Back Bay and Financial District.

“The health-conscious, highly educated people of Boston have indicated that they want healthier food choices, which makes the city a perfect fit for Saladworks,” John Scardapane, chairman and chief executive of the company, said in a statement.
