Coolgreens business model is targeting consumers looking for fresh fast food that is better for you. They say food that fuels vibrant communities with “Food that Feeds Your Life.” Coolgreens recently opened a new ghost kitchen with its first-ever subscription service delivering fresh food fast. Consumers are dynamic not static and brands must be as well.

Customers can now order “The Greens” – signature salads – or “It’s A Wrap” – signature wraps – through coolgreensfl.com on a weekly basis. The Orlando community is the first to enjoy Coolgreens’ fresh, made-to-order creations delivered in this new way. After a few months of testing the service in Orlando, they plan to expand to additional Southeast markets.

Coolgreens CEO Robert Lee stated, “Our mission of providing communities with nutritious, fresh food has always been clear, and this is another opportunity for us to fulfill it,” … “In 2020, we saw an increase of 150% in online orders.
