OUR BACK STORY
Zoup! started with two simple discoveries our founders made while building their first company, which made soup and spice mixes for restaurants. That original business gave the partners kitchen-door access to top chefs and managers at hundreds of restaurants. And, it gave them the chance to confirm what they suspected all along. First, that really good soup is hard to find. And, second, that soup has powerful intangible qualities that elicit feelings of comfort, warmth and well-being for many people. From there they teamed up with a top chef and spent almost two years creating and evaluating recipes.
In 1998 they opened their first location in Southfield, MI. Today, fans can enjoy Zoup!'s soup, salads and sandwiches at 100 locations across the northern United States and in Ontario, Canada.
With the same "Everything Matters" philosophy that ensures quality, satisfaction and convenience for our customers, Zoup! has created systems and support programs that give franchisees the tools they need to build their own successful business.
