Salt Lake City—Clean Eatz, America’s leading health food restaurant and online meal plan franchise, has officially announced the winners of their Fork-A-Franchise Giveaway. The giveaway allowed for winners Amanda Hatfield and Suraj Manikundalam of Salt Lake City, Utah, to join the franchise as café owners without incurring the traditional franchise costs.

The Clean Eatz team launched their Fork-A-Franchise Giveaway in August of last year to award a deserving individual with a Clean Eatz franchise location. They embarked upon a nationwide search for an entrepreneur whose drive, commitment to community, and personal values mirrored those of the franchise.

Amanda has spent the last decade working in finance for technology companies. With such a busy lifestyle, she and her fiancée found it difficult, like millions of Americans, to come home and cook for themselves, which began impacting their personal health goals. She will be opening the first Clean Eatz café for the State of Utah in Salt Lake City this fall, and has expressed an intent bring 2 additional café locations to the market over the next 5 years.

“I’m really excited to be expanding Clean Eatz to Utah.” Amanda said. “Utah residents are very active and health conscious, so I believe this will be a perfect fit.”  

Clean Eatz recently surpassed 100cafés nationwide, continuously fighting to make health food more affordable and accessible to communities and consumers across the country. In large part, the Fork-A-Franchise Giveaway was in recognition of the achievements the brand has made towards that end, and the franchise partners that have helped them get there.

“We are thrilled to be working with Amanda and Suraj to bring Clean Eatz to Utah,” said Clean Eatz Co-founder Evonne Varady. “It was important to find the right franchise partners who hold the same values and match the brand’s culture and commitments, and we couldn’t have found more deserving people of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
