Muscle Maker Grill Inks Lease to Open Restaurant in North Brunswick 3/7/2011

NORTH BRUNSWICK, N.J. – March 4, 2011 – Muscle Maker Grill, a chain of casual eateries that serves freshly prepared meals with your health in mind, announces it has signed a lease with retail real estate services firm Levin Management Corporation to open a restaurant in North Brunswick. Slated to open in summer 2011, the new restaurant will be located on Route 1 in the Brunswick Shopping Center. 

“We are very excited to bring Muscle Maker Grill to one of the most popular shopping centers in Middlesex County, and are thrilled to see the restaurant chain continue to expand in the state where it originated,” said Rod Silva, founder of Muscle Maker Grill. “We are pleased to welcome Ron Arora, the owner of the new North Brunswick restaurant, to our rapidly growing family of franchisees.”

At Muscle Maker Grill, everything is prepared on premises with a menu that features lean, protein-based dishes, including chicken, seafood, pasta, burgers, wraps and entrée salads. It also offers a wide selection of protein shakes and supplements in an assortment of flavors, such as Tropical Paradise and Snappy Apple.

The atmosphere at Muscle Maker Grill is friendly, relaxed and casual. Each restaurant features an abundance of seating, as well as TVs that provide a variety of entertainment programs. Muscle Maker Grill also offers take-out, delivery and catering services.

“Muscle Maker Grill’s popularity reflects a growing focus on healthy eating, as well as continued demand for fast service among today’s consumers. It’s a wonderful addition to the tenant mix at Brunswick Shopping Center, and will broaden the property’s appeal to younger shoppers,” noted Matthew K. Harding, Levin Management’s president and chief operating officer. “In fact, Muscle Maker Grill’s menu offers just the kind of foods that people who exercise – such as the members of the LA Fitness located in the center – seek out.”

Muscle Maker Grill was founded in 1995 by Rod Silva with the goal of offering people a nutritious alternative to fast-food restaurants. A fitness enthusiast since he was 18, Silva recognized a void in the marketplace for tasty, healthy meal options. Silva’s vision has helped make Muscle Maker Grill one of the fastest-growing restaurant franchises in the country.
