Così, Inc. Thanks New York City

We Issued a Challenge to #feedthecity, and we Succeeded Together

BOSTON - Nov. 30, 2015 // GLOBE NEWSWIRE // - Così, Inc. (NASDAQ:COSI), the fast casual restaurant company, says “thanks, New York City!” On the first three Fridays in November, Così issued a challenge to New Yorkers - together let’s #feedthecity. Così participated in this challenge by offering a free sandwich and encouraging guests to make a donation to the Food Bank for New York City.

“New Yorkers responded to our challenge by visiting our restaurants and sharing their generosity. We gave away thousands of sandwiches over the three weeks, and we are thankful to all involved for making it a success,” said RJ Dourney, Così’s CEO & President. “One of the cornerstones of Così is to give back, with our time, talent and treasures. Our goal is to be a positive influence in the communities where we do business.”

“First, we believe our guests and our people deserve to feel a connection with Così, to feel as though we are more than just a place to grab a sandwich or a salad. We want Così to be a positive addition to every community. Second, we introduced, or reintroduced, Così to thousands of New Yorkers over the past three weeks. This was a great way to reach out and offer a free lunch while encouraging our community to support a local food bank,” stated Dourney.

“We are passionate about serving our guests and our communities, and we will continue to look for ways to provide greater community support while building a stronger Così,” Dourney added.
