Your Safety Comes First

For over 20 years, nothing has mattered more to us than the people we serve.

Regarding the Cyclospora outbreak linked to pre-packaged lettuce: we are working closely with our suppliers to ensure our produce is not affected. In addition, as a precaution, we have switched to shredding whole heads of lettuce instead of using premade salad mixes. Prefer no salad? We’ll swap in another side.
