Fast-growing Grabbagreen opening in Gilbert before end of this year

Earlier this summer, Scottsdale-based Grabbagreen announced it would open its first Southeast Valley location in Tempe by the end of this year.

Now it has announced a second SE Valley location – in the new Rivulon Center on the northeast corner of Gilbert Road and the 202 in Gilbert, also scheduled to open by the end of the year.

Grabbagreen, which offers healthy grain- and produce-based bowls with hormone-free beef and poultry, was launched by Scottsdale moms Keely Newman and Kelley Bird in 2013.

They opened three locations in the Valley – two in Scottsdale and one in downtown Phoenix. Three more Valley locations, all franchises, including Tempe and Gilbert, are scheduled to open this year.

Since May 2015, Grabbagreen has signed 50 franchise agreements and has 180 more in development.
