Grandview Business News
The Burnelle's launched their meal delivery service for busy families just six months ago, and the business is flourishing, exceeding expectations. -[1]- Their small shop Farm-to-Table, located in Central Grandview Heights, has been forced to increase staff by 120% to keep up with demand. The whole premise of the idea came up after Rachel and Robert Burnelle had their first child. Both working parents had constantly turned to fastfood for their meals and realized that many of their friends did as well. They wanted healthier options which most fast-food franchises don't provide. -[2]- The business is so popular that they have been getting orders from outside the city. "The response has been overwhelming," says Rachel. "Our customers especially appreciate the freshness and quality of our meals." Janet, a customer from the start added, "Not only is the food healthy, it's not that much more expensive than fast-food meals, but it's much better for you." -[3]-
The Burnelles say they are planning to expand their delivery routes and open three Farm-to-Table grocery shops with ready-made meals around the city of Grandview within the next year. -[4]-
