Fratelli Ravioli Franchise Group Opens Their First New Jersey Store
Aberdeen, NJ (PRWEB) July 21, 2004 -- The Fratelli Ravioli Franchise Group, a Brooklyn-based company specializing in homemade pasta, has made its first venture into the Garden State. Their most recent Fratelli Ravioli Shop and Cafe is located at 1100 State Route 34, in Aberdeen, NJ. There are plans to place two more units into central New Jersey within the next year.
Fratelli Ravioli Shops offer fifteen varieties of homemade ravioli and eight varieties of linguini, fettuccini, and angle hair pasta, all made from only the finest and freshest ingredients. The shops also feature fresh mozzarella, an espresso bar, bakery items, and a complete array of packaged Italian specialty products. As with all Fratelli Ravioli Shops, the Aberdeen location has become extremely popular with local residents, attracting crowds so large that at times lines of customers stretch out the door and into the parking lot.
Larry Vivola, co-founder of the 25-year-old Italian specialty shop concept, said that interest in the New Jersey area markets has been overwhelming. "Not only is the general public excited to see us here, but potential franchisees are calling at a record rate," Vivola said. When you consider the number of people living here who are originally from the New York metro area, it makes sense that they would long for a ‘taste of the old neighborhood. That's exactly what Fratelli Ravioli Shops and Cafes offer our guests."
Although the company has a long-standing history of success, and has been prominently featured on Food Networks Food Finds", the opportunity to join the franchise system is relatively new. This gives first-time entrepreneurs the ability to be part of an experienced team while taking advantage of a ground floor opportunity. "We believe it is this unique combination that makes this phase of our growth so exciting," added Vivola.
For franchisees Matt and Chris Lombardi, the opportunity to work with the Fratelli team has been instrumental in their success. "They helped us with everything from site selection to training our crew for our grand opening," said Matt. We couldn't have done this without them."
