As part of its grand opening celebration, Zoup! will host a pre-opening fundraising event on Wednesday, April 9th from 5:00 to 8:00 pm to benefit the Family Promise of Southwestern Pennsylvania which connects children and families experiencing homelessness with a network of local congregations and dedicated staff, all focused on providing shelter, meals, hospitality, and support until they are able to return to sustainable independent lives in their own homes.

An established brand throughout the United States and Canada – with over 60 restaurants in 15 states/provinces – Zoup! is targeting Pennsylvania as part of an overall expansion strategy.

 

“We are excited to introduce the Zoup! brand and culture to Canonsburg,” said Karen Bovalina. “The wide variety of healthy choices, including soups, salads and sandwiches provide a great dining alternative for our community.”

 

Zoup! features hundreds of award-winning soup recipes with 12 rotating daily varieties, including low-fat, low-cal, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, all served with a hunk of freshly baked bread. Customer favorites include Chicken Potpie, Lobster Bisque and Vegetarian Split Pea. The menu also features made-to-order salads and sandwiches, and all items are available in convenient catering sizes for groups of 10 or more.

 

“We created Zoup! after discovering that really good soup is hard to find,” said Eric Ersher, Zoup!’s founder and CEO. “Also, in talking to people, it became clear that there’s something special about soup and the way it elicits thoughts of family, well-being and comfort for many people.  We strive to offer authentic, hand-crafted soups that are as good – and as ‘feel-good’ – as the homemade soups our mothers and grandmothers used to make.”

 

To help customers select from the daily soups, sampling is encouraged. And, for those looking to save time, a daily soup menu and online ordering are available. Customers also can sign up online to receive a daily email menu.

 

The new restaurant will employ approximately 17 team members and will be open 11:00 am to 8:00 pm Monday through Saturday and 11:00 am to 5:00 pm on Sunday. For more information, please call 724-416-9500 or visit www.zoup.com.
