Organic To Go™ (OTGO.OB) Opens Franchise Location to Bring Healthy, Fresh Food Items to San Diego International Airport

QualityStocks would like to highlight Organic To Go (OTCBB: OTGO). Organic To Go is the nation's first fast casual café chain to be USDA and QAI certified as an organic retailer with locations in Seattle, Los Angeles, San Diego and the Washington, DC metropolitan area. Named one of Nation’s Restaurants News’ “Hot Concepts” for 2008, Organic To Go's organic food is currently available in more than 170 locations including 33 cafés.

 

In the company’s news yesterday,

 

Organic To Go™ announced its first grab-and-go franchise site at the San Diego International Airport (SDI). The company’s new, fully branded Organic To Go site is located in the food court of Terminal 1 at SDI.

 

Organic To Go specializes in providing fresh and healthy “clean” food that is free of pesticides, chemicals, antibiotics, additives, growth hormones, or genetic modifications. Whenever possible, the company uses ingredients that are certified organic and locally sourced. The new site at SDI will feature Organic To Go’s full service menu including pre-wrapped hot and toasted sandwiches, mini-pizzas, hot soup, made-to-order sandwiches, coffee and espresso drinks.

 

Jason Brown, CEO of Organic To Go, is excited about the launch of the new franchise site and commented, “Showcased in the midst of Chili’s, McDonalds, Baja Fresh and Starbucks, Organic To Go’s fresh, ‘clean’ menu options and vegetarian alternatives make a great deal of sense for travelers to and from southern California, allowing for a complete set of choices. As airlines pull back from complimentary foodservice on flights, Organic To Go offers a quick grab & go option that is not only delicious, but also nutritious.”

 

Organic To Go has negotiated with Concessions Management Services (CMS), a multi-concept concession company, to manage the fully-branded location at SDI. CMS already works with Organic To Go at the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) on nine kiosk locations that serve Organic To Go items. The company also has an agreement with HMS Host to provide meals at one of their locations at LAX.

 

“Organic To Go is truly a different option. They offer healthy and delicious organic choices that are fast and easy to take on board a plane. People are very happy to have great-tasting choices for meals made with organic ingredients, and we look forward to growing our relationship with Organic To Go at other airports throughout the country,” stated Clarence Daniels, President and CEO of CMS. “We’ve witnessed impressive customer response and growth at our LAX locations since offering the Organic To Go options. Thus CMS is excited to expand with Organic To Go into San Diego.”
