ZooHoo's Eatery - Franchise

• Are you searching for a recession proof business in a growing industry?
• Would you like to own a fast-casual restaurant without having to risk everything you own
  (plus your first-born!)?
• Are you looking for truly unique restaurant concept that offers an outstanding ground floor opportunity?

ZooHoo's Eatery^sm takes fast-casual dining to a whole new level by combining a fast-casual restaurant with the mobility of a professionally branded custom food service trailer. This enables our franchisees to open and operate a fast-casual restaurant at a substantial discount over a traditional brick-and-mortar establishment.

ZooHoo's Eatery^sm is different – we're not another deli, burger joint or sub shop. ZooHoo's is a gourmet fast-casual restaurant on wheels! Our mobile food service franchisees are not weighted down by multi-year commercial leases and huge capital expenditures for construction. Instead, they are free to focus on serving fresh, high quality menu items that keep customers coming back for more!

Fast-casual concepts are leading the way in the restaurant industry as consumers flock to restaurants that serve fresh, high quality food quickly and affordably. The national fast-food chains' burger sales are down and fresh, hand-patted burger concepts like ours were up 12% in 2009. Simultaneous to the growth in the fast-casual space, the mobile food service segment of the industry is booming! In fact, American Express MarketBriefing reported that in 2010, more than one in four consumers (26%) reported visiting a food truck in the last six months.

ZooHoo's Eatery^sm is designed for singles, families and people on-the-go. Our menu features fresh, hand-patted burgers, delicious wraps stuffed with fresh vegetables and marinated meats, and hand-rubbed pork tenderloin marinated in a Vermont maple syrup and apple cider reduction. In addition, we offer fish sandwiches, conch fritters, fresh mescaline salad with grilled vegetables and chicken, as well as turkey burgers and natural chicken served on a bed of Boston lettuce. To finish it off, hand-cut French fries and amazing soft-serve ice cream and shakes help ensure a memorable meal. There's nothing better than hearing our customers say, "I can't believe this food is coming out of a trailer!"

Our menu is based on ZooHoo's Eatery^sm founding philosophy of quality or nothing! A quality ingredient assembled by quality staff and served with a genuine quality smile all produce - you guessed it - a quality finished product! We are proud of our menu, service and brand, and we believe it shows in everything we do.

ZooHoo's Eatery^sm offers two different turn-key franchise models. Our Semi Permanent Trailer is located on a seasonal basis or year-round at high traffic locations and operates very similar to a traditional restaurant. Our Weekend Warrior Trailer is designed for fairs, carnivals, festivals and other similar events.
