Amy’s Kitchen Drive-Thru Outlets Garnering Loyal Customers
Imagine fast food that’s actually good for you. That’s what customers get when they roll up to Amy’s Drive Thru and select from a menu of delicious dishes that are all-vegan and organic. The kicker is that these foods are sourced from sustainable farms that are eco-friendly and leave behind a minimal carbon footprint.
Amy’s Drive Thru locations are a project of Amy’s Kitchen founded in 1987 by Andy and Rachel Berliner. It is headquartered in Petaluma, California. From the beginning Amy’s Kitchen core values were that the food would be vegan, non-GMO, organic and would be produced with the protection of Mother Earth’s natural resources.
One of the reasons more people do not select wholesome, chemical & pesticide free options is convenience. It’s far too easy to spin by a drive up to order a greasy bucket of deep-fried chicken or a burger made from animal products and worry about the consequences to personal health and the environment later.
Amy’s Kitchen, from the beginning, has operated its own farms where organic, carbon-neutral and pesticide-herbicide-free food production has been a core value of operation.
Today, Amy’s Kitchen manufactures more than 250 frozen foods and organic, non-GMO products which are distributed in supermarkets nationwide. Amy’s Drive Thru has four locations in California with more openings planned.
Amy’s Kitchen is noted by industry observers for its aggressive pursuit of sourcing sustainable energy to operate its food production and distribution activities. It buys solar and wind generated energy from a number of suppliers across the nation.
The food firm currently employs about 2,600 people and was recently named a “Best Places to Work” company by local California media outlets.
The success of Amy’s Kitchen and now its drive-through options proves that a food company can be profitable, highly successful while also pursuing a policy of sustainability and green energy use.
