New menu options and fitness guru allow consumers to experience a healthier lifestyle
GARY, IN- Burger Planet has recently added new menu items to give consumers more options. Gourmet salads, five different types of fruit, and all white meat chicken have been added to, “assist women in eating healthy,” said Burger Planet CEO James E Mullenbach III. Jayne Petersen, fitness guru that worked with talk show host Opal Whitcomb, is also working with the company. She will be traveling to Burger Planets nationwide with Corny the Clown to provide nutritional packets and advice to customers. She emphasizes a “message of moderation,” saying that it’s okay to have a burger and fries, but it is also a good idea to integrate some of the new menu items. There are three different types of salads, and each costs $4.99. It’s only 300 calories, and 150 calories without dressing. Apples, grapes, peaches, pineapple, or bananas are offered in plastic, reusable bags for $3.99. They are 150 calories. Speaking of the changes Mullenbach III said, “For more than seven decades the company has succeeded because it put customers first. We listen to our customers and our customers desire healthy eating choices, of which we offer many.”
Burger Planed was founded in 1934 by James E. Mullenbach I. Burger Planet has served 52 billion customers and counting. At last count, it had 8,921 franchises in every state and 17 countries.

Maybe don't say, "Burger Planets," but use, "Burger Planet locations or franchises." Calories are important, not so sure price is. Try to break it up a little bit more so it isn't all one long paragraph.
ReplyDeleteMany sentences seem to run on for too long. I thought the information was good, it just needs to be broken up.
ReplyDeleteI liked it a lot, the quotes were used very well. I think that the use of calories and prices were good to give the customer an idea of what to expect
