For the first time ever, Boston Market will put a new, sesame-inspired spin on its world famous rotisserie chicken, as well as a seasonal savory side and warm dessert to keep guests cozy as temperatures begin to drop.

“This season, we wanted to welcome the changing seasons by putting an international spin on our world famous rotisserie chicken, flavoring it with a sweet and savory sesame-inspired glaze,” said Chef Tony Fialho, director of culinary innovation at Boston Market. He added, “As the temperature falls, a warm, delicious, home style dish can quickly become the perfect comfort food for the entire family.

The Rotisserie Everything Experts are So Confident in their New Sandwich Offerings, They’re Inviting America to a Nationwide “Taste Test” – On the House

Bring any Sandwich (whether Home- or Competitor-made) into a Boston Market from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. on Friday, June 21 for a Complimentary (and Life Changing) Upgrade

Golden, CO  (Restaurant News Release)  The first day of summer – and longest day of the year – is just around the corner, and that can only mean one thing: time to sack the sad sack lunch. While the nation gears up for summer Fridays and weekend picnics in the park, we quickly forget that lunch is arguably the most important meal of the day, and no one deserves a subpar sandwich. To help guide the way (well, minus the “sub”) toward more mouth-watering midday options, the rotisserie everything experts at Boston Market®  are debuting four new sandwich offerings this month that must be tasted to be believed – literally.

Friday, June 21 from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m., Boston Market is inviting everyone to leave that corner bakery and/or cafe in the dust and enjoy a free sandwich on the house – pitting “theirs” against ours in a full-on sandwich throwdown. Simply bring in your current favorite sandwich and taste the difference fresh, never frozen (and never “fil-a’d”) rotisserie chicken can make. You’ll be hooked. Guests are then invited to vote for the superior sandwich and throwdown winner via an online survey. Free sandwich upgrades will be offered at participating restaurants while supplies last – and every belly, whether “pot” or not, is filled.

The four new sandwich offerings now available at Boston Market include:

• Southwest Chicken BLT – Cholula bacon, avocado, Tillamook® pepper jack cheese, lettuce, tomato, red onion and a smoky chipotle aioli are all layered atop ciabatta for a red, hot summertime kick.
• Chicken Avocado Club – Bacon, avocado, Tillamook® cheddar cheese, lettuce, red onion and a delectable herbed mayo bring this designed-for-summer sandwich to life on ciabatta bread.
• Chicken or Turkey on Ciabatta – Guests can choose either rotisserie chicken or hand-carved turkey to pair with smoked cheddar, lettuce, tomato, red onion and herbed mayo on this lighter sandwich option.
• Chicken Salad – An elevated chicken salad offering featuring fresh-from-the-rotisserie chicken bring this sandwich to life with sliced tomato, lettuce and mayo on a multi-grain hoagie roll.

In addition, Boston Market is also introducing two new salads – the Southwest Cobb Salad (which features a romaine and leaf lettuce blend, bacon, avocado, corn relish, pico de gallo, red onion and chipotle ranch dressing) and a Caesar Salad (which includes romaine lettuce, a three cheese blend, croutons and Caesar dressing). Guests can also pair any half sandwich with a salad – or regular side or soup – starting at just $8.99.

“We at Boston Market took a closer look at our competitor’s sandwiches and, to be blunt, we were not impressed,” said Frances Allen, Boston Market Chicken Executive Officer.  “That’s why we’re throwing it down, rotisserie style, and challenging all competing sandwiches to the ultimate taste test. We’re so confident our new sandwiches – with real, hand-carved chicken right from the rotisserie – will devour the competition, we’re giving away a free sandwich to anyone who brings in and pits ours against a competing, and in our mind, subpar, sandwich. Once you’ve had ours, you’ll never go back – guaranteed.”

Coupled with the launch of its new sandwich line-up, Boston Market is eliminating lunchtime pain (whether ‘au bon’ or not) by issuing a 100 percent guarantee: if a guest doesn’t like his or her sandwich for any reason, Boston Market will replace it with a meal of his or her choice (at an equal or lesser value).

These openings come as part of the company’s 2017 expansion plan, and includes opening 14 new locations both domestically and internationally, three of which are in the New York metropolitan market.

“We are very proud to expand our footprint in the exciting and diverse New York City market,” stated Boston Market CEO, George Michel, also known as “The Big Chicken.” “Boston Market opened its first New York City restaurant in 1991, and the demand across the five boroughs remains strong today as we will open at least three new restaurants in New York City just this year alone. This growth is a testament to the appeal of our brand in New York City, which has consistently been our top market. We look forward to our continued expansion to meet the demand we’re experiencing and bring New Yorkers quality, home style meals at a convenient value.”

Boston Market will be opening these new locations with the company’s redesigned décor package and restaurant layout, which maximizes 1,700-2,500 square feet of space and features that include:

• Upgraded serving stations and carving stations;
• Rotisserie ovens on display;
• More-efficient serving lines (allowing guests to receive their meals faster); and
• Warm and inviting artwork and modern décor.

Speaking to the new Boston Market location at Parkchester that recently opened, Ken Marshall, Head of Retail at Olshan Properties, operators of Parkchester retail property, stated: “At Olshan Properties, we pride ourselves in constantly upgrading our tenant mix to best serve the needs of our residents and compliment other retailers and restaurants located at our properties.  With the arrival of Boston Market at Parkchester, we are confident this vibrant community of over 42,000 will be enthusiastic patrons of this most popular national dining establishment.”

Boston Market will host a Grand Opening event at its new Parkchester location on August 11 at 11:00am. To celebrate and introduce the Boston Market brand to the local community, the first 100 guests will receive a coupon for one free half chicken meal redeemable on their next visit.

Study finds mothers are working harder than ever in- and outside the home; 60 percent of Americans plan to “tweet” mom on her special day

Company makes it easy for families to come together and spend quality time around the table with holiday specials and deals available on Mother’s Day and beyond

Golden, CO  (Restaurant News Release)  Boston Market®, the rotisserie cooking and contemporary home style meal experts, today released consumer insights from a nationwide Mother’s Day survey* that unveils just how families celebrate mom on their special day.

According to 49 percent of America, Mother’s Day leads the pack as the favorite holiday during the spring and summer seasons. When it comes to treating that special lady in their lives, 78 percent of the country plans to give mom a gift this May 14, while 60 percent of us will rely on social media to wish mom a “Happy Mother’s Day.”

Moms with children (16 or younger) are working harder than ever to carry the brunt of chores around the house – and only 16 percent are planning to treat themselves this Mother’s Day. Compared to their spouses, moms are still investing more hours per week cooking (8.8 vs. 6), doing laundry (5.9 vs. 4) and cleaning (8.2 vs. 4.8), making them all the more deserving to be showered with love – and a meal – on Sunday, May 14.

With 80 percent of survey respondents noting that they enjoy a special meal as part of their Mother’s Day celebrations, Boston Market, known for its hassle-free home style meals, is doing its part to recognize and celebrate moms across the country by offering $5 off all Family Meals (for four or more people) on Sunday, May 14.

Additional ways families can treat Mom at Boston Market ahead of or on Mother’s Day include:

• 2 for $20 Meal Deal: For those celebrating prior to May 14, the recently extended 2 for $20 meal deal offers guests two Individual Meals, two drinks and two desserts for only $20 now through Mother’s Day.
• Facebook Gift Card Giveaway: Visit the Boston Market Facebook page Monday, May 8 through Friday, May 12 for a chance to win a Boston Market gift card or Family Meal. Each day Boston Market will provide a different topic for fans to comment with their own stories celebrating mom (ex. mom as a superhero). A winner will be selected at the end of each day.
• Dessert Deal: Every mom who dines on Mother’s Day will receive a coupon for a free cookie on her next visit to any participating Boston Market (redeemable May 15 – 31, while supplies last).

2 for $20 Meal Deal

“Mom takes priority this May, and we wanted to offer those gift givers out there multiple ways to treat and enjoy a relaxing meal with the special women in their lives,” stated Boston Market CEO, George Michel, also known as “The Big Chicken.” “Nothing says you care quite like giving mom a delicious meal, from our 2 for $20 meal deal to our Mother’s Day Family Meal offer, and we look forward to providing all of our guests with home style meals worthy of this special occasion.”

More insights Boston Market uncovered around how Americans celebrate Mother’s Day, include:

• Dine Out or Stay In. Of the 80 percent of Americans who enjoy a special meal as part of their Mother’s Day celebrations, 53 percent expect to share their meal at a restaurant.
• Keep Mom on Speed Dial. 74 percent of moms report receiving phone calls from family members on Mother’s Day while 64 percent receive loving text messages.
• Put Some Thought into It. Only 50 percent of moms surveyed typically receive actual cards on Mother’s Day, so there’s lots of work to be done to show her some old-fashioned appreciation!
• In-Store Shopping Takes the Cake. Of the 78 percent of Americans who plan to shower mom with gifts for Mother’s Day, 72 percent plan to go to a store to find that perfect something; 46 percent of gift-givers said they might also do some online shopping this year.

Unusually warm spring brings favorite picnic food pairing to menu

Golden, CO  (Restaurant News Release)  After the warmest March on record and with outdoor activities just around the corner, Boston Market® is giving guests an early taste of their favorite seasonal dishes. The restaurant chain is offering its BBQ Ribs & Chicken meal, served with two sides and fresh cornbread, for $12.99*. The experts on home style cooking have mastered the slow roasting of St. Louis style ribs, which are slathered in a sweet, peppery barbecue sauce.

“The time it takes to prepare great tasting ribs is the main reason that people don’t enjoy them more often, so we’re happy to make it as easy as a visit to a Boston Market restaurant,” said Boston Market CEO George Michel, also known as The Big Chicken.

Michel was referencing a finding from a new, national survey on ribs commissioned by Boston Market. The survey also found that rib lovers prefer the pairing of ribs and chicken (54%) two to one over ribs and pulled pork (21%) and ribs and grilled burgers (21%).

First offered in 2013, the BBQ Ribs menu item has become a guest favorite at Boston Market, especially when paired with the signature Rotisserie Chicken.

“We’re delighted to offer two summertime favorites – ribs and rotisserie chicken – side by side at such a great value,” said Michel.

Boston Market’s St. Louis style seasoned ribs are slow-roasted and exceptionally meaty. The brand found that a ¼ rack of the St. Louis variety yielded almost 2 ounces more meat than a ½ rack of baby back ribs from other fast casual competitors.

And what sides will be requested most often to complete the ribs and chicken meal? Ribs lovers say that sweet corn (34%) and mac & cheese (20%) are their top choices, according to the survey.

Along with every other item on the Boston Market menu, the BBQ Ribs & Chicken meal is real food that’s carefully prepared, affordable and without compromise. It’s all part of the restaurant’s promise to deliver an experience that is all good.
