Westlake, OH – Quaker Steak & Lube, one of the nation’s leading family casual-dining restaurant chains, has signed agreements with Aramark Corporation, a food service and facilities management operator, to open two new franchised Quaker Steak & Lube concession locations. One concession will open in PPG Paints Arena, home to the National Hockey League’s Pittsburgh Penguins, and will be open for the 2019-2020 hockey season. The second, inside FirstEnergy Stadium and home of the National Football League’s Cleveland Browns, opened on August 8 for the first preseason game.

Having recently undergone a strategic brand refinement, Quaker Steak & Lube is newly positioned for franchise development and growth.  With heightened operational and service standards, an integrated marketing strategy, improved food and beverage menu offerings and a support team backed by decades of experience, the brand is drawing interest and consideration from restaurant franchisees nationwide.

A three-year licensing agreement was signed for the new concessions location in the PPG Paints Arena located at 1001 Fifth Avenue in Pittsburgh, Pa. This premier walk-up concessions stand will be located on the main concourse of the arena and will be open for more than 150 events during the year, including all Pittsburgh Penguins hockey games, as well as concerts and other special events. In addition to the concession agreement with PPG Paints Arena, Quaker Steak & Lube also signed an agreement for a three-year marketing sponsorship to include a variety of advertising with the event venue. Both agreements with the arena strengthen the brand’s presence in the Pittsburgh market and further its interest in supporting the community.

The long-term FirstEnergy Stadium concessions agreement will provide stadium-goers with access to a 66-foot wide walk-up order counter just inside one of the stadium’s most heavily trafficked entrances on the southwest general concourse. The visual elements of the concessions space dramatically reflect the characteristics of Quaker Steak & Lube’s new building design, featuring brick and wood elements, along with vibrant signage and food imagery. Eight order stations will be open during all Cleveland Browns home games and all other events hosted at FirstEnergy Stadium. The Cleveland Browns will also further support and promote the concessions venue and overall Quaker Steak & Lube presence in Greater Cleveland.

These two agreements raise the number of Quaker Steak & Lube counter-service eateries in stadiums and arenas to five, all being operated by Aramark.

“We’re excited to be expanding Quaker Steak & Lube into more arenas and stadiums,” said Bruce Lane, Vice President. “We have a lot of loyal guests in the Cleveland and Pittsburgh markets, but with sports fans coming far and wide from other cities, we will certainly increase the number of Quaker Steak enthusiasts. We welcome these Aramark locations and look forward to their continued success with the Quaker Steak brand.”

Quaker Steak & Lube operations are based in Westlake, Ohio, and the company has more than 40 casual-dining locations across the United States.

Westlake, OH –  Quaker Steak & Lube, one of the nation’s leading family casual-dining restaurant chains with franchise opportunities available, has rolled out a new limited time offer menu, featuring food and beverages that provide guests with fresh, new flavors that build upon the fan-favorite classics for which Quaker Steak is known. At the same time, Quaker Steak & Lube has revamped its all-day beverage menu focusing on quality spirits and trending drink categories.

Just in time for patio season, Quaker Steak’s limited-time menu features five new flavor-stacked steakburgers. The line-up starts with a Baja Burger, topped with fresh and spicy south-of-the-border flavors. With continued international flair, the Reuben Burger — piled high with corned beef, Swiss cheese, crispy slaw and horseradish sauce, and the GTO Gyro Burger — topped with classic Greek beef and lamb, feta cheese and cool tzatziki sauce, will appeal to those with a heartier appetite. Rounding out the new burger features are the timeless Mushroom Swiss Burger and the savory BBQ O-String Burger. With seven USDA Choice ground steakburgers already offered on the all-day menu, the addition of these limited-time burgers presents guests with twelve burger builds to satisfy every taste and craving.

Consumers with dietary restrictions or people simply trying to reduce their red meat intake can now substitute any traditional steakburger patty with the Beyond Meat burger. The Beyond Burger is a 100 percent plant-based option that contains more protein than beef, less saturated fat, no soy, gluten or GMOs, and is cholesterol free. It looks, cooks and tastes like a beef burger. Additionally, to accommodate gluten sensitivities, Quaker Steak & Lube offers a gluten-free bun option while also denoting gluten-free items across all of its food and beverage menus.

“We are excited to introduce this wide variety of limited time burgers and give guests a dozen burger options to choose from for spring and summer dining,” shared Bruce Lane, vice president. “With the addition of our Beyond Burger, all guests can choose a healthier option while still enjoying great tasting food.”

A variety of handcrafted, specialty cocktails complete the limited time menu. Cocktail drinkers will find libations crafted with trending new spirits like Aviation Gin. Owned by actor Ryan Reynolds, Aviation has a smooth, scaled back juniper base and is used in the Aviation Pineapple Sunrise. Jameson Caskmates IPA Whiskey finished in IPA craft beer barrels, enters the scene in the Blueberry Jameson Mule. With blueberries gaining position in the beverage industry, Quaker Steak has added the Tito’s Blueberry Lemonade. The Leaded Strawberry Palmer offers a new twist to an all-time favorite.

Guests will be amused by three new limited time “trash can” drinks. Served in a plastic mock trash, the Electrici-tea is a new take on a long island iced tea and the Rummy Worm, crafted with Blue Chair Banana Rum, is kindred to a tropical rum punch. Both drinks are topped with gummy worms. The Bull-dozer trash can combines premium liquors and gets topped with an upside down can of Red Bull. Adding to the fun, guests can keep the plastic trash can cup and scan a Snapchat code to activate an augmented reality video.

Quaker Steak & Lube’s refreshed all-day bar menu further establishes the brand’s beverage program as high quality and thoughtfully presented. Wine appears front and center in the menu, featuring new brands and expanded varietals resulting from guest feedback during 2018 beverage testing. Chloe, Josh Cellars, 19 Crimes and Prophecy brands have been added. Canned wine, a growing preference with younger guests, now comes in three varietals from Prophecy.

Guests continue to look for all-natural ingredients, even in the liquor category. Quaker Steak & Lube is responding to the demand for 100 percent agave tequilas with the addition of Casamigos, a brand partially owned by actor George Clooney. The Casamigos ‘Rita is Quaker Steak’s ultimate top-shelf margarita. Other tequilas added to the brand’s spirits category are also 100% agave.

New drinks on the all-day bar menu include the Southern Hurricane, a twist on the Bourbon Street classic; the Blood Orange ‘Rita, featuring the popular and intense raspberry-orange fruit flavor; the Jack Berry Smash; and two new mule drinks — the Tequila Mule and the Tennessee Mule. With continued growth in the mule category, Quaker Steak has strengthened its mule drink offering by featuring varieties made with bourbon, vodka, whiskey and tequila. Remaining on the beverage menu are many guest favorites, including tropical and frozen drinks, hand-crafted teas and lemonades, a variety of margaritas, and more.

“The key to a successful beverage program is offering every guest a consistently made drink, each time,” shared Shannon Salupo, corporate beverage manager. “With the new menu, we’ve rolled out a comprehensive bar training program to ensure our bartenders and servers understand the varieties of wine and spirits and are using the proper tools and techniques when mixing drinks.”

Quaker Steak & Lube’s beverage line-up also features a wide variety of domestic, craft and import beers in cans, bottles and on tap. Quaker Steak & Lube’s all-day and limited time offers pair perfectly with the brand’s open-air bars and expansive patios for summer fun.
