MANHATTAN, NY, June 06, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Energy Kitchen, a Manhattan-based fast-casual chain whose health-centric menu features no meal that exceeds 500 calories, announces the signing of an area development agreement for three restaurants in South Florida.
The signed agreement, targeting South Beach, Brickell and Aventura, is part of an aggressive expansion plan calling for 1,000 of the calorie-conscious eateries nationwide over the next decade. With additional signings in Boston and New Jersey, Energy Kitchen continues to use its New York success as a springboard for national development.
EURItEUR s an exciting time for us as we build momentum and take big step towards our national expansion goal,EUR said Anthony Leone, Founder and President of Energy Kitchen. EURAs more consumers begin to realize that fast food doesnEUR t have to be fat food, we look forward to providing them with a healthy, delicious alternative to their dining options.EUR
With a customer list that reads like a EURWhoEUR s WhoEUR of Hollywood EUR" including Hugh Jackman, Nicole Kidman, Paula Abdul, Uma Thurman and Adrien Brody, among others EUR" Energy Kitchen is introducing a new era of healthy eating with its nutritious and convenient meal choices. Providing low-calorie, low-fat, tasty eats that are good for you, Energy Kitchen invites its customers to eat healthy without sacrificing taste. Nothing on the menu is over 500 calories, everything is baked, steamed or grilled, and full-calorie sodas arenEUR t even an option.
EURWhat we offer is fast food without the guilt,EUR Leone added.
Energy Kitchen caters to the health-conscious consumer, serving such items as wraps, burgers sandwiches and salads, as well as entrees such as yellowfin tuna and turkey meatloaf. The brand pairs meals with a varied list of nutritional sides, including fresh vegetables, baked homestyle potatoes and asparagus salad, and also offers smoothies and healthy snacks for those on the go.
Fort Lauderdale resident Tony Lord will lead Energy KitchenEUR s South Florida expansion. A veteran of the healthy food and beverage industry with nearly 10 years of experience, Lord brings a wealth of brand extension and sales knowledge to Energy Kitchen. Most recently, he served as a Sales Manager for Vitaminwater in Miami, increasing the companyEUR s regional sales from $320,000 to $3.2 million.
EURThere are numerous restaurants in the area that claim to offer low-calorie meals to customers, but none of those come close to what we offer,EUR Lord said. EURI couldnEUR t be more excited about bringing Energy Kitchen and the healthy lifestyle it represents to South Florida.EUR
