Scottsdale, Ariz.-based fast food and juice chain Grabbagreen said it signed an area developer agreement with ConeHead Investments Inc. in Oceanside for 95 locations in Southern California, including 15 to 20 restaurants in Orange County.
The move brings Grabbagreen into a competitive market with Juice It Up in Irvine, Santa Ana-based Nekter Juice Bar Inc., and Bowl of Heaven in Rancho Santa Margarita, along with outsiders such as Jamba Juice, which is based in Emeryville.
ConeHead’s principals have developed Southern California locations of Cold Stone Creamery and supplements retailer Nutrition Zone USA.
Grabbagreen was founded in 2013 and has three company-owned restaurants in the Phoenix area. Its website says franchises cost between $202,000 and $382,000 to open and that average unit volumes are $935,000.
