Mahana Fresh Easily Adds Shrimp to Fast-Casual Hot Line Using Prime Shrimp
Limited Time Offer Expands Menu to Include New Protein Using Prime Shrimp Seasoned Sous Vide Pouches
At A Glance:
Looking for new proteins to enhance their menu and entice new customers, Mahana Fresh partnered with Prime Shrimp to create a limited time offer featuring four unique shrimp dishes. The offer performed so well, Mahana Fresh has brought Prime Shrimp on as a permanent menu item in their locations.
Challenges:
Mahana Fresh, a fast-casual restaurant chain specializing in healthy, customizable tropical bowls, was looking for solutions to enhance their menu and offer customers a new nutrient-dense protein option. At Mahana Fresh, shrimp was never an in-demand protein due to lack of knockout flavors and back-of-the-house concerns such as consistent, flavorful preparation and cooking.
Solutions:
Mahana Fresh partnered with Prime Shrimp to create “Shrimply Paradise,” a limited time offer (LTO) which brought four flavors of shrimp to the Mahana Fresh menu across a 16-week period. Prime Shrimp supplied four flavors of shrimp in one pound, banquet style sous vide pouches — including Lemon & Cracked Pepper, Louisiana Boil, Signature Cajun, and Honey Mesquite — to Mahana Fresh locations.
Prime Shrimp’s gourmet seasoned shrimp pouches made it easy for Mahana Fresh to add a dynamic new protein to their hot line with minimal prep each day. Due to the success, they brought Prime Shrimp on as a permanent menu item.
