NEWTOWN, PA-As Dallas based CBC Restaurant Corp. accelerates its Corner Bakery Café franchise program, it has formed a partnership with the locally based Rose Group. Rose Group, the 39th largest restaurant franchise company in the US, owns and operates 54 Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill and Bar units in Eastern Pennsylvania, Baltimore and New Jersey.

Plans call for the addition of approximately 25 new Corner Bakery Café units throughout the Philadelphia and New Jersey markets within the next few years. “Fast-casual dining is one of the fastest growing segments in our industry,” says Harry Rose, chairman and CEO, in a statement. “We view this relationship with Corner Bakery Café as an important milestone in the growth of our company, giving us the opportunity to expand our current success into the bakery café concept.”

Like CBC, the Rose Group is in growth mode. In the past year, it added seven new Applebee’s and 700 staff members, taking its total number of employees to nearly 5,000. Corner Bakery Café was founded in 1991, and CBC acquired the brand from Dallas-based Brinker International Inc. in late 2005 for about $70 million.
