Discovering and choosing healthy food and lifestyle choices can help keep your body and mind healthy, fuel your success, and improve your overall well-being.
Empowering healthy consumers, a priority objective of our Be Well. Do Well.TM sustainability plan, reinforces our commitment to not only providing tasty healthy options but also fostering a culture of health and wellness.
Our health and wellness program includes a healthy menu strategy, as well as nutrition and other wellness initiatives that promote and support healthy lifestyles.
Our programming focuses on these so-called 4 Es:
- Enable a food environment that encourages health and well-being by offering a variety of healthy choices every day
- Educate, inform and empower the communities we serve by providing evidence-based nutrition and wellness information
- Encourage a heightened level of interest and excitement about healthy and local choices
- Engage a community that actively participates in and is connected to a culture of health and wellness
