The announcement follows last year’s franchise deal between healthy food and juice chain, Crussh, and Sodexo which will see Crussh open outlets across all of the Sodexo business from workplace catering to universities, hospitals & government locations across the UK and Ireland.
Shane Kavanagh, CEO of Crussh said: “This is a really significant opening for us, and provides an incredible opportunity to bring our brand of healthy food and juice to a new audience in locations where we think we can make a real difference. Healthcare is an area we’ve been passionate about for a long time, and we’re delighted to be opening in Birmingham Children’s Hospital.”
The new Crussh café will stay ‘true’ to the classic menu, offering a large range of healthy food from breakfast pots & toasties to salads, wraps and healthy treats, alongside freshly pressed juices, smoothies and organic coffee.
Stuart Winters, CEO of Healthcare, Sodexo UK & Ireland, said: ‘Extending our 10-year partnership with Birmingham Children’s Hospital was a clear opportunity to review and overhaul patient dining and retail provision.
“Bringing in brands such as Crussh will help us deliver our goal to ensure that we give the right nutrition to children and young people to help them heal and recover and play a part in the Children’s Hospital staff continuing to deliver the best possible care.”
