Tedeschi Touts 'Chicken Curry in a Hurry'

Adds Indian cuisine; seeking to appeal to wider variety of palettes, vegetarians, others

ROCKLAND, Mass. -- Tedeschi Food Shops now offers an extensive selection of all natural Cafe Spice Indian cuisine. Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Vindaloo, Chicken Curry, Channa Masala and Saag Paneer meals are available with either saffron or lemon rice.

The retailer's website touts "Chicken Curry in a hurry." These restaurant-quality grab-and-go meals are flavorful, easy to prepare in three minutes and naturally gluten free, said the company.

All of the new meals retail for $4.99.

"Bringing Cafe Spice meals into stores allows Tedeschi Food Shops the opportunity to appeal to a wider variety of culinary palettes, as the flavors of these dishes are unlike anything currently available. They are also a means of meeting the needs of our vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free customers. Consumers are much more willing to try new flavor profiles, and for many young adults, 'spicy' is trendy," said Bob Goodwin, director of fresh foods.

In addition to these meals, Tedeschi Food Shops offers a wide variety of wraps, sandwiches, salads and healthy snacks that are prepared by Tedeschi Fresh Foods, the company's proprietary commissary.

Established in 1923 in Rockland, Mass., Tedeschi Food Shops Inc. is a family-owned and operated New England convenience store chain with more than $600 million in annual revenue. The company operates 190 c-store locations throughout Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Connecticut. Tedeschi Food Shops provides its customers with a family of proprietary brands: TD's Deli and Tedeschi Fresh Foods, Tedeschi Select and Tedeschi Fuel.
