Così, Inc. (NASDAQ:COSI), the fast casual restaurant company, says
“thanks, New York City!” On the first three Fridays in
November, Così issued a challenge to New Yorkers - together let’s
#feedthecity. Così participated in this challenge by offering
a free sandwich and encouraging guests to make a donation to the
Food Bank for New York City.

“New Yorkers responded to our challenge by
visiting our restaurants and sharing their generosity. We
gave away thousands of sandwiches over the three weeks, and we are
thankful to all involved for making it a success,” said RJ Dourney,
Così’s CEO & President. “One of the cornerstones of Così
is to give back, with our time, talent and treasures. Our
goal is to be a positive influence in the communities where we do
business.”
“First, we believe our guests and our people
deserve to feel a connection with Così, to feel as though we are
more than just a place to grab a sandwich or a salad. We want
Così to be a positive addition to every community. Second, we
introduced, or reintroduced, Così to thousands of New Yorkers over
the past three weeks. This was a great way to reach out and
offer a free lunch while encouraging our community to support a
local food bank,” stated Dourney.
“We are passionate about serving our guests and
our communities, and we will continue to look for ways to provide
greater community support while building a stronger Così,” Dourney
added.
