The Tomato Shack Franchise

Meet Craig & Mike

With over 20 years of experience, Tomato Shack leads in delivering quality organic meals in a warm community setting.

Craig Mosmen (left) and Michael Cassano (right) created the original Couch Tomato Cafe’ back in 2003, in Manayunk PA, shortly after graduating from the University of Delaware.

Thanks to the tremendous support from their local customer base, they expanded the Couch Tomato Cafe’ in Manayunk to the 2nd and 3rd floors of their property to accommodate the business in 2011.  

They opened their second location in West Chester, PA in 2015 and their third location in Conshohocken, PA in 2022. The plan for their third location was always to serve as their model unit for their new franchise The Tomato Shack salad & pizza co.

Today, The Tomato Shack salad & pizza co. leads the way in delivering high quality organic, locally sourced, healthy dining options in a warm inviting setting.

Our Mission

Tomato Shack sources organic and local produce, hormone and antibiotic-free meats, and an overall “clean” product whenever possible. Our commitment to quality and community propels our continued growth and success.

Our Values

We believe in integrity, quality, and community connection. By prioritizing health and sustainability, we provide our customers with delicious meals that reflect our values and support local farmers and producers.

Our Vision

We envision a future where healthy eating is the norm, and everyone has access to fresh, quality meals made with care. Tomato Shack aims to inspire a movement towards wellness while expanding our franchise family across new communities.

Our Relentless Commitment to Quality and Community

We source organic and local produce, hormone and antibiotic-free meats, and an overall “clean” product whenever possible. The pizza crust is made entirely with organic ingredients, and all pizza sauces, salad dressings, and sandwich spreads are plant-based, gluten-free, nut-free, and soy-free to appeal to the dietary, and allergy-conscious. The beverages range from organic to local and all-natural. Our commitment to using local, organic ingredients ensures that our customers enjoy nutritious meals without sacrificing flavor.

We are committed to an extraordinary emphasis on the quality and integrity of our product, and we take great pride in our scratch kitchen. We go that extra mile and look forward to continuing our healthy and environmentally friendly revolution.

Our franchise partners benefit from a proven business model that supports their growth and success in the competitive restaurant industry, as well as our solemn commitment to your success through extensive, comprehensive training and consistent, top-notch support once you launch your own Tomato Shack.
