Corner Bakery Cafe announces plans to open 16 new restaurants in six counties in the Greater New York City area as part of a recent multi-unit agreement with CBCWSNY LLC. The group of veteran restaurant operators plans to open its first restaurant in 2013 and the remaining sites over the next six years.
“Corner Bakery Cafe is a rapidly growing, fast-casual concept that is quickly becoming popular in New York, making it the perfect choice for us,” says Parru Dharia, managing member at CBCWSNY LLC. “The neighborhood concept makes it perfect for the markets we are considering. We have no doubt that it will be an instant hit in each community. The possibilities for success here are endless.”
Corner Bakery Cafe plans to open the new restaurants in the Greater New York City counties of Westchester, Putnam, Orange, Ulster, Suffolk, and Dutchess.
“We’re excited to begin the New Year with this great news regarding one of our latest area agreements,” says Jonathan Benjamin, vice president of franchise sales for Corner Bakery Cafe. “With all of the momentum we are experiencing in the Northeast, this is the perfect place to continue our expansion plans as the brand looks to numerous new locations and even more fans in the Greater New York City area.”
Corner Bakery Cafe opened 20 new cafes and signed another 125 cafes in 2012, raising the total to 147 open cafes and 288 cafes under development, as the company moves forward on its goal to double its U.S. footprint by the end of 2015.
Corner Bakery Cafe’s made-to-order menu features hot breakfast scramblers, signature paninis and sandwiches, homemade soups, hand-tossed salads, pastas, and decadent desserts while providing a friendly gathering place for families and friends. Corner Bakery Cafe also provides a robust, best-in-class catering platform, presenting fresh food perfectly packaged for delivery or pick up.
