New England Wholesale Food Distributor Gives Tips for Increasing Business During Lent 2012

Taunton, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/01/2012 -- Soup and Salad: This is a great time to offer new types of soup. It’s still relatively cold outside in the Northeast and customers are looking for warm values. AGAR offers over 300 varieties of soup and there is something for every type of customer out there. Vegan, gluten-free, ethnic and vegetarian soups should all be considered as offerings.

“Every type of holiday or occasion offers a restaurant an opportunity to attract more customers and, make more money,” says Karen S. Bressler, president and CEO of AGAR. “Get creative and make sure you have a selection for meat eaters, for those observing Lent as well as vegetarian and gluten-free items. Keep customers coming through the door by looking for new, more affordable items for your menu. As beef prices rise, it’s a good opportunity for operators to explore new items.”
