Fresh Kitchen Hosts 5th Anniversary Celebration

TAMPA, FL — Fresh Kitchen, the build-your-own-bowl quick-service restaurant with eight locations throughout the state of Florida, is celebrating its fifth anniversary this month with a lineup of promotions to show appreciation to its customers.

Fresh Kitchen opened its first location to overwhelming success at 1350 S. Howard Ave. in Tampa's SoHo district in 2014. This was followed by seven more locations including another Tampa location at 4616 W. Kennedy Blvd.; 4447 4th St. N., St. Petersburg; Sarasota; Boca Raton; two Orlando locations; and in Davie. In 2020, Fresh Kitchen will open new restaurants in New Tampa and Lake Mary.

Highlights of the anniversary celebration include the launch of “Crispies for a Cause.” The promotion will see the return of the original, fan-favorite Almond Butter Crispy dessert with 100 percent of the proceeds from every sale of the item benefiting Feeding Florida, a network of food banks and agencies that provide healthy meals to under-resourced communities throughout all 67 counties of Florida.

Over the past five years, Fresh Kitchen has donated more than $125,000 to various charities and has given an additional $30,000 worth of food donations.

Additionally, all Fresh Kitchen locations will feature a new $5 Snack Bowl available throughout the month of September. Guests are invited to choose one base, one protein or veggie, two add-ons and one sauce to top their bowl. Premium proteins and Avocado Salad will still require an up-charge on the base price.

Catering orders pre-arranged for delivery on Sept. 18, the official anniversary date, will come with a birthday surprise. Each order will be accompanied by a pack of pink party hats and an invitation to “Party with FK” for a chance to win free catering for 20 guests through a social media contest.

Also on Sept. 18, the 50th guest to visit the original location on Howard Avenue in Tampa will receive a $500 Fresh Kitchen gift card.

Fresh Kitchen invites guests to build their own chef-inspired bowls. Made from scratch and fresh-to-order, guests are presented with seasonal ingredients including fresh greens, quinoa, sweet potato noodles, perfectly seasoned rices, roasted veggies, hormone and antibiotic-free grilled meats, responsibly sourced seafood options, home-made sauces and flavorful add-ons. Along with bowls, Fresh Kitchen serves freshly brewed teas, lightly sweetened juice frescas, pressed juices and cane sugar craft sodas. The entire menu is 100 percent gluten-free with options available to suit a variety of lifestyles (vegan, paleo, keto); and all food is prepared using 100 percent olive oil.
