Clean Eatz is a Wilmington, North Carolina fast casual healthy-eating franchisor headquartered at 4389 Oleander Dr. Husband-and-wife co-founders Don and Evonne Varady grew the idea from a small Wilmington cafe in the early 2010s into a broader wellness brand built around making healthy eating affordable and convenient, and franchising began in 2015, making the company one of the port city's largest homegrown franchisors. Each cafe blends several revenue streams under one roof, including a dine-in menu, grab-and-go coolers, weekly meal plans, catering and fitness challenges, while a direct-to-consumer frozen meal line ships nationwide and has reached shoppers through television retail. Nearly every cafe is owned and run by franchise partners, with the home office focused on menu development, training and support. The system is strongest in the Carolinas and across the Southeast, with a growing national presence. Menus cover lunch and dinner with lean burgers, flatbreads, wraps, salads and sandwiches built around clean ingredients and posted nutrition. Typical cafes seat roughly 80 guests in about 2,000 square feet.

The Restaurant Enterprise Index focuses primarily on companies with a substantial role in restaurant operations. Investment firms, financial sponsors, and other ownership partners are generally not included unless they also play a meaningful operating role; an otherwise qualifying entity may also be omitted when sufficient reliable information is unavailable.
The ownership hierarchy follows the entity structure from the bottom up, showing the profiled entity in relation to its parent organizations, including its ultimate parent. When the entity owns or operates concepts beneath it, up to three are displayed.
