ATLANTA - June 24, 2014 - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Moe's Southwest Grill®, the fun, engaging fast-casual restaurant best known for its fresh, made-to-order southwest fare, teamed up with Coca-Cola Freestyle® to create Vanilla at Peachtree, a custom, proprietary beverage only available at the more than 450 Moe's locations with Coca-Cola Freestyle machines. Vanilla at Peachtree is a Sprite-based beverage with vanilla and peach flavors that is appropriately named after both the most famous street in Atlanta and the location of the very first Moe's on Earth - Peachtree Street. The soft drink is available in both a regular and a zero-calorie option – Vanilla at Peachtree Zero.
"Partnering with Coca-Cola to create a flavor just for Moe's gave us the opportunity to highlight our unique personality in the form of a customized Moe's beverage," said CMO, Paul Macaluso. "The Coca-Cola Freestyle PUREPOUR Technology allows us to easily and quickly serve customers a specialized drink that complements the flavor of their southwestern, made-to-order meals."
The sleek, stylish fountains are touch screen operated, enabling consumers to select from more than 100 regular and low-calorie beverage brands – including more than 70 diet , low-calorie and caffeine-free beverages, as well as many varieties of waters, sports drinks, lemonades and sparkling beverages that, prior to the arrival of Coca-Cola Freestyle, were not available in the U.S.
Customers thirsty to try Vanilla at Peachtree can go to Moes.com to find a location with Freestyle near them, purchase a drink, use the button that looks like a peach on the Freestyle screen, pour and enjoy.
