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.
