Above Sea Level PH, a young seafood restaurant with seven company-owned branches and over 120 franchisees in Metro Manila, has seen the tremendous growth of its brand through franchising in just a year. “It’s too early to tell, but yes, we are aiming to be the first seafood fastfood chain in the Philippines,” said Above Sea Level franchise manager Mark Vidal. Polsan Pangidian and Winna Baldonado, the restaurant’s co-owners, did not expect Above Sea Level PH to become this big at this point. They are getting a lot of offers and proposals from potential franchisees from the Visayas, Mindanao and even outside the Philippines.
