The first of two UFood Grill units have opened their doors at Salt Lake City International (SLC) as part of the airport’s revitalized concessions program.
The first location opened April 6, and the second is slated to open later this month. Both units will be operated by franchisee Hojeij Branded Foods.
“From our experience in the Boston, Dallas and Cleveland airports, we’ve learned that today’s travelers are demanding healthier foods when they fly,” says UFood Grill CEO George Naddaff. “HBF is a top-notch airport operator and a great partner that’s been building its management team, consisting of highly experienced food and beverage industry icons. We are excited to expose new customers to the UFood brand with HBF.”
HBF’s business development executive, Lauren Beall, notes, “People on the go are asking for great tasting, more healthful foods today. So we’re very excited to bring UFood Grill’s better-for-you menu to so many travelers out west.”
The restaurant offers food that is lower in calories and fat. When possible, it serves that are antibiotic-, hormone- and gluten-free, as well as natural, grass-fed beef and cage-free egg whites. The menu includes burgers, rice bowls, salads, wraps, paninis and smoothies.
