Get a healthy start with Chick-fil-a
Monday, July 25th, 2011It’s now a little easy to eat a healthy, quick breakfast, thanks to Chick-fil-a.
Starting at $2.49, Chick-fil-A’s wholesome oatmeal is served as a entree in an 8 oz. bowl or can be purchased as part of a Chick-fil-A Breakfast Meal, which includes a small coffee and medium fruit cup, starting at $5.65.
Oatmeal is a heart-healthy breakfast option.
According to a press release from the company, the Multigrain Oatmeal is slow cooked in kettles to retain the nutritional value naturally found in oats. The mixture is a combination of steel-cut oats, rolled oats, flax, buckwheat flour and whole wheat flour. Customers can choose one of three toppings, including cinnamon brown sugar, roasted mixed nuts (almonds, pecans and walnuts) or a dried fruit blend (cranberries, blueberries, golden raisins and cherries). This item is diet friendly, as a serving contains 120 calories and 2.5 grams of fat without toppings and up to 290 calories and 11 grams of fat with the addition of toppings, all with no trans fat.
Here’s to a great way to start your day!
64-Cent Sandwich on Saturday
Wednesday, July 20th, 2011 Arby’s Restaurant Group Inc. is celebrating its 47th anniversary Saturday with a promotion of its signature Classic Roast Beef sandwich that will cost only 64 cents, to match the year of the chain’s birth in 1964. But the deal is not without a catch — Arby’s customers must purchase a 22-ounce $1.59 drink and show a required coupon that’s only accessible by “liking” the brand on its Facebook page. The 64-cent offer is valid only on Saturday during regular business hours at participating locations. There is a limit of one coupon per transaction and the deal is not valid with any other coupon or offer.
The promotion for the 64-cent roast beef sandwich, which usually sells for $2.79 to $2.99, is not about building new traffic, said Bob Kraut, Arby’s senior vice president of advertising and marketing communications. Instead, Kraut said it was an attempt to make Arby’s current Facebook user base of more than 590,000 fans more active with the brand online. “It’s not an all-channels promotion. It’s targeted to the Facebook fans. This is more of an offer for people who follow the brand,” Kraut said. “We have had an active effort to build fans on Facebook. The social media is used by the younger people, and that’s important to us.”

Subway Tests New Cafe Format
Friday, July 8th, 2011Sandwich giant Subway is testing a more upscale format called Subway Café, which the company hopes will address the needs of franchisees looking to open in office buildings and other more high-end venues.
The test, which was launched by a Subway franchisee in an office building in Alexandria, Va., has expanded to about 15 locations, Les Winograd, a spokesman for the Milford, Conn.-based chain, said in an interview Monday. The company expects to add 10 more by the end of the year, he added.
The test, which was launched by a Subway franchisee in an office building in Alexandria, Va., has expanded to about 15 locations, Les Winograd, a spokesman for the Milford, Conn.-based chain, said in an interview Monday. The company expects to add 10 more by the end of the year, he added.
“The landlord was looking for something more upscale and with more coffee choices in the building,” Winograd said.
The new concept is expected to help fuel Subway’s rapid growth. The chain said it has opened nearly 700 new outlets in 50 countries and 43 U.S. states since January and has plans to open a total of 2,000 North American locations this year.
While still in the early stages of development, the Subway Café is designed to be a cross between a sandwich concept and coffee bar and is “a little larger” than the average 1,200-square-foot Subway, he said.
In addition to the standard Subway breakfast and traditional menus, the café concept offers a variety of baked goods, hot and cold espresso drinks, coffee, hot and iced chai latte, hot chocolate and frozen blended beverages. Because the menu is somewhat more elaborate, operations will vary from standard Subway locations. The coffee would come from Seattle’s Best, which supplies coffee to Subway’s regular restaurants.
“Employees will need some specific training for the cafes,” Winograd said.
Winograd said the décor and signage for the café would be standardized, and would feature brick or wood paneled walls, more lounge-style seating with comfortable armchairs, and in some cases a fireplace. Lighting also would be different from standard Subway operations. He noted, however, that the design would remain flexible to allow for the development of the cafes in a variety of locations.
Subway has about 34600 stores in 98 countries.
