    About Negril Eatery

    Currently, there are three locations and an express style restaurant that sit adjacent to the Silver Spring, MD store. Negril Eatery locations offer a limited menu, which translates into simplified operations. Patties, pastries and rotis are expertly prepared in the Negril central commissary, located in Laurel, MD which then distributes them frozen to all Negril Eatery locations where they are baked off and offered as freshly baked. With the popularity of the restaurant and the Express, Earl seeks to expand his business and take a taste of his homeland food to the world. At Negril Systems, Inc., we are seeking franchisees who are dynamic, motivated, and self starting, who want to take charge of their future. If this fits your profile, please contact Negril Systems, Inc.
