How did you find out about Muscle Maker franchise?

I changed my lifestyle and started to focus more on how I was eating. During this time, I found that there was a lack of healthy places to eat in the city of Houston. I saw the New Jersey franchise advertising on TV and after doing some research; I decided to be the first to bring the franchise to Houston. Right now we are projected to open somewhere around the end of August at 6415 San Felipe and Boss centrally in the galleria area next to 24 hour fitness.


What can healthy foodies expect from Muscle Maker?

The Muscle Maker slogan is “Guiltless entrees and great food with your health in mind.” It’s all the food you love to eat from wraps, salads, sandwiches and entrees prepared in a fashion  that is super healthy for you to eat. Each menu item has a nutritional value set for it so that the information is right at their fingertips. One of my favorite things to eat on the menu is the Santa Fe Wrap; it has an incredible tangy spicy taste that you wouldn’t believe was healthy.

Why did you want to join the Muscle Maker brand?

I think we are becoming more aware of the benefits of eating healthier, the longevity and the quality of those choices. As a society, we are starting to wake up and understand that it’s okay to have a pizza or a hamburger, every once in a while but every single day and every single meal is just not the right way to do it. We are learning that you can still have those items that you love to eat if you just prepare it in a healthy fashion and the Muscle Maker brand strives at doing just that.
