complacency, brand stagnation, nor a quagmire of economic uncertainty can slow
Shoney’s from the Family Dinning sector leadership role. David Davoudpour CEO of Shoney’s understand
that the consumer is dynamic not static.
Under Davoudpour’s leadership Shoney’s is going to be dynamic as well.
Foodservice
Solutions® Grocerant Guru presentations all include a focus on restaurant
customer migration while highlighting the growth of Ready-2-Eat and Heat-N-Eat
fresh prepared food. This week Shoney’s unveil
its latest prototype it was the family-dining chain’s first restaurant located
in a mall and its first to feature a full bar and attached Shoney’s On The Go
quick-service dining option.
Consumers
have been migrating to new non-traditional points of fresh food distribution in
ever increasing numbers the past 7 years a and Shoney’s wants to garner some of
those customers.
Shoney’s On The Go could become a brand by
itself. At the new Georgia prototype “On The Go”It’s separate. It’s next to the
store. In this case it is an accompaniment to a big-box Shoney’s. Davoudpour explained that it was intended to
be a complement to the big box. They do have one other one in North Georgia,
but this is the first one next to big-box Shoney’s. The other one is a test
location.
Consumers
are going to notice the quality and the freshness of the food. Davoudpour thinks frozen food is going the way of the
past for this brand. Ready-2-Eat and Heat-N-Eat fresh prepared food continues
to drive top line sales and bottom line profits in ever sector of retail
foodservice.
Shoney's
“On The Go" is a dynamic positive stem and Foodservice Solutions®
Grocerant Guru agrees with Davoudpour
when he said “The stories you hear
about Shoney’s aren’t myths. This brand was the premier family casual dining
concept in the world. And this opening represents another step towards
returning Shoney’s to its glory days.”
