Health Express USA Inc

back

Health Express USA, Inc., incorporated on July 2, 1998, operates a health and gourmet fast-food restaurant in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, called Healthy Bites Grill. The Company operates the restaurant through a wholly owned subsidiary, Healthy Bites Grill, Inc. The restaurant offers eat-in, take-out and drive-through service. This restaurant has proved as a testing ground in determining, among other factors, consumer menu item preferences, ideal market demographics, kitchen equipment requirements, food pricing guidelines and labor and sales targets for profitable operations.

On May 7, 2001, Health Express entered into a lease agreement for a second restaurant in Boca Raton, Florida. This restaurant is being remodeled, and will serve as the model for future franchisees' operations. Health Express is also in the process of completing a Uniform Franchise Offering Circular to launch the franchise phase of the Company's mission statement. The Company will operate the second restaurant through a wholly owned subsidiary, Healthy Bites Grill of Boca, Inc., and franchise operations will be conducted through a wholly owned subsidiary, Health Express Franchise Company.

The Company began operations of its first restaurant on April 10, 2000. The restaurant is a freestanding building on a corner lot adjacent to a major thoroughfare. This location is located within a commercial, hospital and residential area of middle- to upper-class neighborhoods, and has given the Company a testing ground to survey consumer appeal to a developing menu based on healthy items. This menu is composed, in part, of burgers, wraps and pockets, solo pizzas and salads. A juice bar offers smoothies, juices and power drinks. Burgers and wraps include the Healthy Bites Veggie Burger; grilled turkey burgers; chicken breast, buffalo and sirloin burgers; grilled tofu clubs; tuna filets; grilled portabella mushrooms, and various pocket sandwiches. All pizzas are made with homemade tomato sauce and served with soy cheese or mozzarella with a variety of fresh toppings. Salads are prepared daily with fresh greens and served with a variety of dressings. Oven fries, vegetarian chili and pasta salads are included in the a la carte selection.
