Good Life Organic Kitchen
A franchise that promotes extremely healthy eating, gives back to the local community, and turns authenticity into profits for its owners.
Vitality and sustainable practices are two movements that are here to stay. Nutrient-dense, real food and beverages are what leading health experts teach us to consume to make ourselves healthy for a longer life. Sustainability has become very popular with more eco-friendly disposables, composting, and supporting our local farmers and vendors whenever possible. What if there was a way to own a business that combined both of these movements? There is, and it is called “Good Life Organic Kitchen”.
The focus of Good Life Organic Kitchen (GLO Kitchen) is impacting the health of the community. They believe knowledge and education are essential. They aren't just a source of healthy food but a source of knowledge that their franchisees and employees can provide to their customers interested in getting and staying healthier. The founder of GLO Kitchen, Conor Delaney, was one of the least healthy and consistently sick children in his school. He lost his father to poor diet and overall health decisions, and his mother had permanent disabilities from poor health. He understood the cause of the health decline for himself and his parents was a lack of knowledge around the food and choices they were making every day. Not only was Conor able to get his health under control with education and changing habits, but he is now an avid runner and leader in the health and wellness industry.
GLO Kitchen makes it a priority to find the healthiest ingredients from the best local sources. They strive to source as close to 100 percent organic as possible while emphasizing the support of small, local farms and vendors. All disposable items are eco-friendly and are composted for future use.
You may be wondering, what does a GLO Kitchen serve? They serve nutrient rich juices, smoothies, bowls, and more. They also serve local Greek yogurt parfaits, baked oatmeal, seasonal soups, sandwiches, salads, and other plant-based options. Customers can dine-in at GLO Kitchen, order items to-go, purchase items in the retail market, and order items for delivery through third-party delivery services in some markets.
