SPECIAL NOTE (August): We are currently in the development stage of putting together our franchise business to begin selling franchises across the U.S. by the first quarter of 2009. To grow that business (12 to 36 new stores opened per year), we are currently offering a limited amount of investment in our franchise company - the franchise arm of our business will not own stores but rather sell, develop and manage stores across the U.S. If you would like further info, send us an e-mail and provide some info about yourself and overall interest. Please note we are only offering a limited amount of investment - so, if you are interested please contact us. "Rebuilding the health of America one slice at a time"
