CORELIFE EATERY
CoreLife Eatery franchises operate fast-casual restaurants featuring assembly-line style, build-your-own bowls with greens, grains, proteins, bone broths, soups, wraps, tacos, smoothies, snacks, and beverages made from clean ingredients with minimal processing. The franchisor primarily offers area development franchises granting rights to open multiple CoreLife Eateries in designated areas according to a development schedule, with individual franchise agreements for each location, though single-unit franchises are available in select situations like non-traditional venues. The target market is the general public seeking healthy, customizable meals in retail strip malls, urban areas, shopping centers, and travel hubs.
