Strategy
The Pantry is positioned as a Casual Family Value concept, serving Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner Day Parts. A typical Pantry Restaurant is 3,500 to 4,000 sf, located in high-density suburban communities, community hubs, or hotels. Our service appeals to young families who are middle-income earners, value and health conscious, and who normally cook at home.
Much of The Pantry’s success is attributed to a consistent and exceptional customer experience. Our families are invited into a comfortable, casual and contemporary restaurant environment where everyone is welcomed. Healthy menu choices emphasize fresh, home-style, comfort food at affordable prices, while our service demonstrates our commitment to providing the type of caring and quality a mother would provide to her family and guests at home.
As a part of The Pantry’s future growth strategy, new locations will be predominantly freestanding, with select hotel sites available.
