A fast food chain unlike anything in America

[OnePercenter]

It won't last in my opinion. There is really no difference between organic and "in" organic chickens, just in what they eat. People are going to say, 4 dollars at Wendy's and 8 at this place, what the hell it is just a damn chicken. That and Wendy's should easily get to be organically certified, considering there really isn't much of a difference.

Exactly what Hostess said when it failed to embrace consumer trends which led to their collapse.

Ah not really. Hostess dominated the market and didn't change with the times, in terms of advertising and such. This is something different, a chicken is a chicken.

Customer treads were to other foods, not to higher priced Twinkies.

>> A former Costco executive is launching America's first fast-food chain that has been certified organic by the USDA.

Erica Welton was a food buyer for Costco for 14 years before leaving to launch the restaurant chain, called The Organic Coup. "We saw this huge shift happening at Costco with people purchasing more and more organic food," Welton told Business Insider.

... So she launched Organic Coup.

The first location opened last month in Pleasanton, California. Welton plans to open 25 more restaurants over the next 14 months, mainly on the West Coast. Eventually, she wants to expand to cities including Las Vegas, New York City, Austin, and Chicago, she said.

Welton went through the process of getting the chain certified by the USDA because she wanted customers to be able to trust Organic Coup's promise of organic food. "I didn’t really understand how few restaurants were certified," she said. "I was shocked to find out that we were actually America’s first certified-organic fast-food chain."

Organic Coup is pricier than your average fast-food restaurant. The fried chicken sandwich costs $8.99, compared to under $4 for a chicken sandwich at Chick-fil-A. But it seems like plenty of people are willing to pay up for the organic label. The restaurant has only been open for about four weeks and it has already racked up nearly 100 reviews on Yelp and Facebook. <<​

​

What the article doesn't mention: Costco is universally acclaimed to be a business that treats and pays its workers well like the valued capital resources they are. I'm betting Organic Coup's employees will be, and are, in a far better place than yer typical chain gang food facility.

I've been eating typical death-food for 63 years and I'm as healthy as they come. BP 120/70, resting rate 56, cholesterol 80.

There is much so more to health than just that lol. Especially at my age... strength, speed, stamina, bodybuilding, athletic ability, etc are all extremely important to many people, and trash foods make your gains weak...

an evul capitalist sees a niche, fills it and takes money to the bank.

good for her

I'd check it out, by myself. $9 for a chicken sammich is a bit much for a family outting

That doesn't mean the price of OC's fare is high; it means the price of the cardboard the McBurpers churn out for the unwashed is artificially low.

true that

went to BK the other day, got their A1 burger.

so disappointed with the whole, I pulled out the onions and they didn't taste like onions, licked some of the A1 and only tasted sugar, bit some of the 'meat' and wondered how much cardboard I just ate.

the amount of filler needed to keep the prices reasonable has gotten out of hand
