Zoës and Whole30 Kick Off Tour Educating Guests
on the Nutrient-Rich Mediterranean Diet
Zoës Kitchen (NYSE:ZOES), a fast-casual Mediterranean restaurant
group, today announced its partnership as the only national Whole30
approved Mediterranean restaurant. In conjunction with this
partnership, Zoës Kitchen is launching a Mediterranean Goodness
Tour to raise awareness of nutrition and the benefits of living a
healthy Mediterranean diet and lifestyle.
“At Zoës Kitchen, we are motivated to continuously offer fresh,
delicious, better-for-you dining options that accommodate a diverse
range of lifestyles and nutrition plans,” said Casey Shilling,
Chief Marketing Officer at Zoës Kitchen. “Our fresh, scratch-made
approach, inspired by the Mediterranean diet, beautifully
complements the Whole30 program and we are delighted to offer
choices to our guests that will help them on their nutrition
journey to live their lives to the fullest.”
Whole30 is a 30-day dietary reset designed to help people
improve their health, create new dietary habits, and change their
emotional relationship with food. It was co-founded by Melissa
Hartwig in 2009. In 2015, the program’s flagship book, The Whole30,
was released and has gone on to sell more than a million hardcover
copies in the United States. The Whole30 approved dining options
can be found throughout the Zoës Kitchen menu and contain no added
sugar, no grains, no dairy, no legumes, no alcohol and high-quality
protein options.
“I am always looking for ways to make the Whole30 easier and
more accessible for my community,” said Melissa Hartwig, Whole30
CEO. “Working with Zoës Kitchen to create a variety of delicious,
satisfying Whole30 meals has been such an exciting project. They’ve
made such efforts to create a robust selection of Whole30 approved
offerings to serve our program followers, including identifying
subtle modifications to some dishes on their menu to create even
more options for the program. Our fans and followers are going to
love the Zoës Kitchen Whole30 approved menu.”
The Whole30 website currently serves 2 million unique visitors a
month with readers checking in from more than 100 different
countries, and has a combined social media base of more than 2
million fans and followers. The program also has more than 90
Whole30 Coaches across the country that offer resources and
services to their local community.
