Crussh opening healthcare site in London

May 29, 2019

Crussh Fit Food & Juice Bars will open its first healthcare site and first site outside London this summer in Birmingham Children's Hospital, according to a press release.
 
The announcement follows last year's franchise deal between Crussh and Sodexo, which will see Crussh open outlets across Sodexo businesses from workplace catering to universities, hospitals and  government locations across the UK and Ireland.
 
"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," Crussh CEO Shane Kavanagh, said in the release. "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 Crussh Fit Food & Juice Bars classic menu, offering breakfast pots, toasties, salads, wraps and healthy treats, alongside freshly pressed juices, smoothies and organic coffee.
 
"Extending our 10-year partnership with Birmingham Children's Hospital was a clear opportunity to review and overhaul patient dining and retail provision," Stuart Winters, CEO of Healthcare, Sodexo UK and Ireland, said in the release. "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."
 
Crussh opened its first site in partnership with Sodexo, at City, University of London, in March 2019. It has traditional café formats, as well as larger scale sites, food trucks and pop-ups.
