A fast food chain unlike anything in America

[Pogo]

>> A former Costco executive is launching America's first fast-food chain that has been certified organic by the USDA.

Erica Welton was a food buyer for Costco for 14 years before leaving to launch the restaurant chain, called The Organic Coup. "We saw this huge shift happening at Costco with people purchasing more and more organic food," Welton told Business Insider.

... So she launched Organic Coup.

The first location opened last month in Pleasanton, California. Welton plans to open 25 more restaurants over the next 14 months, mainly on the West Coast. Eventually, she wants to expand to cities including Las Vegas, New York City, Austin, and Chicago, she said.

Welton went through the process of getting the chain certified by the USDA because she wanted customers to be able to trust Organic Coup's promise of organic food. "I didn’t really understand how few restaurants were certified," she said. "I was shocked to find out that we were actually America’s first certified-organic fast-food chain."

Organic Coup is pricier than your average fast-food restaurant. The fried chicken sandwich costs $8.99, compared to under $4 for a chicken sandwich at Chick-fil-A. But it seems like plenty of people are willing to pay up for the organic label. The restaurant has only been open for about four weeks and it has already racked up nearly 100 reviews on Yelp and Facebook. <<​

​

What the article doesn't mention: Costco is universally acclaimed to be a business that treats and pays its workers well like the valued capital resources they are. I'm betting Organic Coup's employees will be, and are, in a far better place than yer typical chain gang food facility.

Not with all the poison in the chicken feed.

guess I been eating lots of poison in my 66 years and here I am . Course I grow food and its done mostly organically but I've only been doing that for maybe 20 years and even that's off and on . Anyway , 9 dollar a chicken sandwich mentioned above is too rich for me especially when I'd want 2 of them !!

That doesn't mean the price of OC's fare is high; it means the price of the cardboard the McBurpers churn out for the unwashed is artificially low.

The line is full of obese people, so good luck.

It won't last in my opinion. There is really no difference between organic and "in" organic chickens, just in what they eat. People are going to say, 4 dollars at Wendy's and 8 at this place, what the hell it is just a damn chicken. That and Wendy's should easily get to be organically certified, considering there really isn't much of a difference.

Also known as "Americans". Perhaps trying to do something about it.

Y'all seem to be fixated on chickens for some reason. "Organic" generally refers to the plant world. Like the various vegetables and condiments they use AROUND the chicken -- or other centerpoint.

The chemicals in the food on chicken farms cause the chickens to grow to full size in 3 or four weeks and that makes me skeptical about the meat.
