Powered by strong marketplace demand for healthy dining options, variety and convenience, Zoup! Fresh Soup Company franchisees Joseph and Laura McKernan recently signed a lease to open the second Zoup! restaurant in the state of Illinois. The new restaurant will be located at 28341 Diehl Road and will be opening in November 2011.
Already the hottest soup spot in Detroit, Mich., and a regional favorite throughout the Midwest and Northeast United States with nearly 40 restaurants in nine states, Zoup! is developing in Warrenville as part of an aggressive local and international growth plan to expand its unique concept and menu.
“Our Zoup! restaurant will be situated in Cantera Commons and centrally located around the Interstate 88 corridor, surrounded by various hotels and businesses,” said Joseph McKernan. “The new eatery will present visitors to the shopping complex, whether business professionals, families and even teenagers with an opportunity to stop in for their favorite soups, sandwiches or salads and feel confident that they are enjoying a meal that isn’t breaking the bank.”
Zoup! features hundreds of award-winning soups with 12 rotating daily varieties, including at least one low-fat, vegetarian, dairy-free and spicy recipe. Using nothing but the finest and natural ingredients and no MSG and trans fats, Zoup! plans to serve up traditional favorites like Chicken Pot Pie and Lobster Bisque in addition to more unique soups like Mulligatawny, Cheeseburger Royale and Ginger Butternut Squash. Each order is served with a hunk of fresh baked bread. The menu also includes made-to-order salads and sandwiches.
“In good times and bad, soup carries powerful and intangible qualities that provide comfort and promote a genuine sense of well-being for many people,” said Eric Ersher, Founder and Managing Partner of Zoup!. “We look forward to growing our brand and feeding the local appetite with one-of-a-kind soup creations consumers love, but wouldn’t make at home.”
