Hannaford opens O'Naturals Restaurant
Hannaford Supermarkets' corporate headquarters will debut a kiosk from restaurant operator O'Naturals in late February. Delhaize-owned Hannaford employs 27,000 associates and operates 165 stores in the northeastern United States. Hannaford headquarters has over 1,000 personnel.
"The combination of the country's first natural and organic quick-service restaurant chain and the retailer that devised the innovative 'Guiding Stars' nutrition navigation system is a natural one," said Caren Epstein the grocer's corporate spokeswoman.
"Opening O'Naturals at Hannaford's headquarters is a wonderful fit," said O'Naturals COO, Jay Friedlander. "Both companies are committed to supporting their communities and providing tasty, nutritious food for everyone. Given Hannaford's recent organic certification, it is a logical move for them to offer O'Naturals selections in their corporate cafeteria."
There are no plans at present to roll out O'Naturals kiosks in Hannaford stores, but neither party has ruled this out as a possibility.
