Fresh To Order(TM) Signs Agreement with Concessions International for Hartsfield-Jackson Airport

Share: Tweet27
May
2012Fresh To Order (f2o) announced today the signing of the franchise agreement with Concessions International to open a location in Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

(1888PressRelease) May 27, 2012 - Alpharetta, GA -- Fresh To Order (f2o) announced today the signing of the franchise agreement with Concessions International to open a location in Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The company's first airport location will be in the Concourse B food court and is scheduled to open in October. Construction is slated to begin this summer.

"Opening a restaurant in the world's busiest airport will generate brand recognition far beyond Atlanta," said Pierre Panos, concept creator and President of Fresh To Order ( http://www.fresh2order.com ). "Atlantans have been extremely loyal since the opening of our first restaurant in 2006. We hope visitors to the area will be just as receptive as our long-time guests."

The 575 square foot restaurant will feature a pared down menu with an emphasis on the chain's famous salads and paninis. Five of the company's signature "long plates" will also be available.

In addition to the new HJAIA location, Fresh To Order ( http://www.fresh2order.com ) is projecting to open another restaurant near Emory University in Atlanta before the end of the year.

Fresh To Order has ramped up its franchise development efforts for the remainder of 2012. Earlier this month the company hosted its inaugural tasting event in Orlando. The next event will be on June 11 in Nashville. These regional menu tastings bring Fresh To Order's chef-inspired cuisine to potential franchisees, investors, local business and community leaders. The small group format gives attendees the opportunity to sample the f2o menu alongside Panos and executive chef Jesse Gideon.

Fresh To Order ( http://www.fresh2order.com ), a pioneer in the "fast fine" dining segment, has already distanced itself from fast-casual eateries by providing a casual fine dining taste profile at a fast-casual price point with an elevated level of service. The average guest ticket order is $9 at lunch and $11 at dinner. Every protein is cooked "fresh to order" on a flame grill in the open-display kitchen as guests order, and dressings and soups are prepared from scratch twice daily in each restaurant. A wide selection of wines and beers is also available. Five of Fresh To Order's locations are located in and around metropolitan Atlanta, with the sixth location in Chattanooga, Tenn.; nine locations will be open by the end of 2012. Two of the locations-Johns Creek and Sandy Springs in suburban Atlanta-are franchised. By 2015, Fresh To Order expects to have 50 locations nationwide, with another 50 locations in various stages of development.

Meningitis Angels Commemorate World Meningitis Day MA host International Candle Lighting Ceremony and Launch National Photo Contest -I Took the Meningitis Shot-

Meningitis Angels Commemorate World Meningitis Day MA host International Candle Lighting Ceremony and Launch National Photo Contest "I Took the Meningitis Shot"Share: Tweet24
Apr
2012Meningitis Angels Commemorate World Meningitis Day MA host International Candle Lighting Ceremony and Launch National Photo Contest "I Took the Meningitis Shot" Meningitis Angels (MA) commemorate the 4th annual World Meningitis Day. The national group will host an international candle lighting ceremony to take place at 5 P.M. around the world. Frankie Milley, founder and national executive director ask that all who have been affected or lost someone to bacterial meningitis light a candle and let it burn.

(1888PressRelease) April 24, 2012 - Houston Texas - "I will be lighting mine in memory of my only child Ryan who died from meningococcal disease and all the Meningitis Angels. If we do this around the world there should be a candle burning somewhere for the next 24 hours," Milley said.

Meningococcal disease is a sudden aggressive illness that can lead to death within 24-48 hours of the first symptoms. Survivors may suffer permanent brain damage, learning disabilities, vision and hearing loss, organ damage and limb loss.
"Before vaccinations, thousands of infants and toddlers died or were left debilitated from Hib and Pneumococcal meningitis. Thanks to vaccines, these are almost eradicated in the US. However tweens and teens are still among the highest risk for meningococcal disease and the hardest to reach for health care and vaccinations. So awareness and vaccination programs such as those in Kansas are imperative," Milley said.

MA announced today the launch of a national contest that would have tweens and teens ages 10-18 submit a photo of themselves getting their meningitis shot. Those ages 10-17 must have a parent's permission to enter. A complete set of rules for entry may be found at http://www.meningitis-angels.org/meningitis-angels-vaccination-poster-contest.html "We hope this contest will increase the meningococcal vaccination rate which is only about 50% nationwide," said Milley.

The nationwide events kicked off last week in Topeka Kansas. A state resolution declaring April 16-20, Kansas Meningitis Awareness Week and recognizing World Meningitis Day was presented to Meningitis Angels, on the capitol steps, by Kansas Senator Vicki Schmidt. Partners for awareness events throughout the week included the Kansas Department of Health and Environment's Immunization Program (KDHEIP), multiple county health departments, Dillion Pharmacies, school districts, the Topeka Cruzline, health care providers and others. This was also a very important week for the prevention of vaccine-preventable disease in infants. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) chose this week for National Infant Immunization Week.

Milley will close out the week April 26, as a speaker at the Vaccines For Children (VFC) Bi-national Conference in South Texas. This event is hosted by the Hidalgo County Health Department and will host speakers from the CDC, Mexico and the Texas Health Department.

"We must do everything to prevent this deadly disease in the age groups where it is preventable. It is the right thing to do. No infant, child or adult should die or be left debilitated from a vaccine-preventable disease, especially one as deadly as meningitis," concluded Milley.
