The Melting Pot’s Brand Evolution Sparks New Interactive Experiences

Leading Fondue Restaurant Continues to Redefine Dining Out

TAMPA - Sept. 18, 2018 // GLOBE NEWSWIRE // - For over 43 years, The Melting Pot® Restaurants, Inc., the world’s premier fondue restaurant and a leading polished casual dining franchise, has helped redefine dining out by creating unique interactive experiences that shape moments and memories for couples, families, and friends. Today, The Melting Pot announced that as part of the legacy brand’s evolution, the new restaurant design and interactive experiences will do the same, plus much more.

The Melting Pot you have always loved keeps on getting better. As part of the restaurant’s new vision, The Melting Pot will tailor design elements and menu offerings for new locations opening and at locations seeking to relocate or remodel. The new design evolution reflects what is most important to their guests, enjoying exceptional food and beverages in an engaging, fun atmosphere. The legacy brand has broad appeal with multi-generational guests and this interactive experience is sought out and embraced by boomers to centennials.

Tailored Design Elements Include:

  • New ambiance, offering an inviting and engaging, open design with local touches
  • Casual dining, social bar area, and outdoor dining and patio bar
  • Open cheese and chocolate kitchen where the art of fondue is on display
  • Dedicated wine tasting area
  • An expanded retail area offering

Custom Culinary Experiences Include:

  • Enhanced fondue experience - including new quicker, craveable menu items
  • Chef prepared entrees
  • On-the-go options - including The Melting Pot’s Signature Chocolate-Covered Strawberries
  • Hand-crafted and artisanal cocktails featuring clean, simple and fresh ingredients

“Americans love to dine out! 5.9 times a week according to a recent Zagat dining trend survey. So it was important to us when we reimagined the restaurant concept that we created multiple dining areas and experiences to give our guests their choice of atmosphere,” said Mike Lester, president of The Melting Pot Restaurants, Inc. “Our guests are looking for localized, customized and fun experiences and our restaurants deliver just that. Our redesigned locations will offer a slightly different look and menu offering, but each will create an eclectic environment for our guests that offers the traditional Melting Pot interactive experience along with a variety of casual dining opportunities.”

The Melting Pot first introduced guests to the restaurant’s new vision when they opened in Red Bank, New Jersey at The Galleria in late June. Today, the second of its kind will open in El Paso, Texas at the Fountains at Farah. This is the first Melting Pot to open in El Paso. Late fall, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania will reopen in a new location with elements of the new brand design.

“This is an exciting time in the history of the brand when we have recreated ourselves and we look forward to sharing it with our guests in communities across the country as we continue to expand,” said Lester.
