IOWA CITY, Iowa, Feb. 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
MAiNGREDIENT® (www.MAiNGREDIENT.com) is set to launch
another new concept in Iowa City -
creating a sit-down dining area that has been merged with a meat
and fish market concept.
The new Meat & Seafood Company® business will be
opening in Iowa City's Northside
Marketplace in the second quarter of 2018. This latest portfolio
addition intends to mix up the dining scene, bringing a breath of
fresh air with a new idea.
Though it may be based around the concept of a meat and/or fish
market, there is nothing old-fashioned about the Meat & Seafood
Company®. It will offer an approachable social setting,
perfect for meeting up with friends and sharing lunch or dinner. It
is hoped that both the layout and the atmosphere will create a
social vibe, which encourages sharing and conversation. This can be
a new place to hang out and have fun, communicating face to face
over a meal.
Alongside that will be the finest packaged meat and seafood
options in Iowa – and,
importantly, also the freshest. The aim here is to create a
marketplace venue that can be trusted to provide only the very
best, and which will become known in the area as the top choice for
dining on fresh seafood and premium cut steaks and other
meats.
A partnership with Stock Yards® makes the Meat &
Seafood Company® dining experience even more appealing.
With center-of-the-plate perfection, Stock Yards® Meat
Packing Company has set the standard for gourmet beef in the
Midwest including exquisite, hand-trimmed steaks and
mouthwatering roasts since 1893. All the meat selections can
be counted on to offer the very best in taste and quality. Stock
Yards® are favored by plenty of diners who look out for
the brand, knowing its dedication to quality.
Visitors who do not wish to dine in can purchase meat and fish
at the counter, just like at the other stalls in the marketplace.
This makes Meat & Seafood Company® the ideal go-to
for food of all kinds while customers are passing through the
Northside. Locals will appreciate being able to bring home the best
meat cuts and seafood selections, while also having the option to
enjoy a meal. Visitors to Iowa
City will get to savor the unique dining experience of the
restaurant and open market with private dining
concept.
The fish served in the premises will be the freshest in
Iowa City, with the
MAiNGREDIENTS® partner Boston Fish
Market® warehoused minutes from O'Hare
International Airport to process fresh fish every morning. That
means all fish served takes less than 24 hours to get to the
kitchen. Seafood shipments come from all coastal areas, including
Alaska, Canada, South
America, Europe, the
Pacific Islands and the Mediterranean.
A full fleet of refrigerated vehicles, including vans and
semi-trailers, are shipped daily by professional drivers, so every
catch is in the best possible hands. "The deal to pull together the
logistics between all partners was monumental in making this
work. It was extremely important to me that all
MAiNGREDIENT® brands continue to offer the highest
level of employee pay and compensation as we have been committed to
since day one," said John B.
Burchert, Founder and CEO. With many restaurants
offering just the federal minimum wage, this makes things
challenging in comparison for MAiNGREDIENT®. Therefore,
being able to put together massive deals with Fortune 500
companies, creating operational efficiency and leveraging
marketing and technology is key. "John will be the first to tell
you he is not a restaurateur. He is truly an entrepreneur and
businessman with a completely different outlook and vision for this
industry. MAiNGREDIENT® is poised for growth and we are
happy to be their exclusive partner into the future," said
Adela Hunter, Vice President, Local
Sales, U.S. Foods.
"I am impressed with what our team has put together and excited
in the build-up that has taken place in the Northside Marketplace.
We are truly excited to bring to life a new
MAiNGREDIENT® concept and creation of another 50 jobs.
Our concept was designed for a Work. Live. Play. setting and
this could not be more fitting," said Burchert.
Headquartered in North
Liberty, Iowa, MAiNGREDIENT is a growth-based
media and imagination company offering an entrepreneur
approach and creative business solutions in the food, beverage and
entertainment industry. Their offerings mix up the dining
scene to create a new experience that visitors will fall in love
with. Local portfolio currently includes: EDEN Lounge &
Nightclub (www.EDENLoungeic.com), Iowa Chop House
(sold & exited November 2017),
and
