A Great Marriage: Fast casual walks down the aisle — and to the table with salads

摘要

A recent report from the Technomic food industry consulting and research firm indicates that an increase in fast casual salad concept restaurants bodes well for future growth in the segment — and correspondingly, produce sales. Jeff Levine knows allabout that. The CEO of the Florida-based Salad Creations chain said that Americans' continued quest for healthy foods and on-the-go lifestyles have certainly fueled his company's growth to include 31 domestic locations in one decade. Salad Creations alsooperates 22 outlets in Brazil and four in Kuwait and expects its international presence to expand as well.
