About The Submarine Station

As a company grows there are three main methods of growth to choose from: sole proprietorship, joint venture, or franchising. The franchise system is an exciting model because of the common shared interest in the founding company (the Franchisor) and the small business owner (the Franchisee) that both want the system to work. The problem with most franchising models is that a Franchisee is under such stringent restrictions from the Franchisor. Understandably, the Franchisor has a huge interest in protecting the brand. This interest in protecting the brand has inherent drawbacks that now become the Franchisee's issues. A few of these drawbacks are: real estate long-term leasing or purchasing, expensive proprietary equipment, forced product price points, etc. Who pays for this in the end? Well, the Franchisee does. Who looks out for the Franchisee? The Submarine Station will!

About Saladarity

Green Fine Salad Co., a Denver-based company opened its third local location in April, 2014 at 707 Seventeenth Street -- but this outpost will have another name: Saladarity. This new prototype is trademarked. "Green Fine Salad is a name we couldn't protect, so we came up with Saladarity, which we have trademarked," says founder Gerry Weber.
