Corner Bakery Cafe to Offer Horizon Organic® Milk
Better-for-You Beverage Options Now at 100 Corner Bakery Cafe Locations Nationwide
BROOMFIELD, Colo. Nov. 28, 2007 – In keeping with its focus on fresh, quality food, Corner Bakery Cafe announced that it is selling single-serve Horizon Organic® Chocolate and Plain milk in 100 locations around the country.
"Partnering with Corner Bakery Cafe to offer Horizon Organic single-serve milk is exciting because it means expanding the availability of our products to place that make it easier for families to have easy access to organic options," said Laura Coblentz, vice president of marketing, Horizon Organic. "As more and more consumers take a closer look at how food choices impact their overall health and well-being, having Horizon Organic milk available at Corner Bakery Cafe makes it easier for families to make healthy choices, even when they'’re dining out."
According to Roper Reports, half of Americans said they had eaten dinner out in the past week (55 percent) and four-in-10 had eaten lunch out (45 percent). However, the availability of organic offerings in food courts and quick serve or fast casual restaurants has long been limited or non-existent.
"We've seen a tremendous response from our guests since we introduced Horizon Organic Milk. They love the pure flavor as well as the healthy connotation, and certainly the significant increase in our milk sales has reinforced our decision to move to Horizon Organic," said Ric Scicchitano, vice president of food and beverage for Corner Bakery.
As consumers strive to improve both their own health and the health of the environment, they are turning to organic foods. In fact, according to the Organic Trade Association, American consumers bought $16.9 billion in organic food in 2006, a 22 percent increase from the prior year.
Horizon Organic products are produced without the use of antibiotics, added growth hormones or pesticides. Organic farming benefits consumers, farmers, animals and our planet.
