Chain Links: Yes, We Have No Banana Doughnuts
South Korean SPC Group will be adding Jamba Juice to their business.
Currently, they operate Baskin Robbins and Dunkin’ Donuts. Based on
Dunkin’ Donuts’ banana, coconut and white chocolate doughnut shaped
like the tropical fruit, some twists might be in store for Korean Jamba
Juice. [Business Wire]
Villa Enterprises Management who “started in 1964 as a tiny pizzeria next to the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York City” have morphed into a zillion different restaurant concepts and have spread all over the world. Two brands, Villa Fresh Italian Kitchen and Greenleaf’s & Bananas are sprouting up in Puerto Rico. Eh, pasta and sandwiches. [QSR]
Have you heard of Marble Slab Creamery? I had not. It sounds an awful
lot like Cold Stone Creamery, but upon further investigation the lesser
known (to me) chain opened five years earlier, in 1983. Name
recognition is not holding Marble Slab back from expanding around the
globe, though. They just opened their first Mexican shop in
Guadalajara. Too bad Cold Stone already has a presence in Mexico City,
Monterrey and are coming to Acapulco. [Business Wire]
