New Menu to Emphasize LEON’s Mediterranean Roots and Incorporate Middle Eastern Fare
WASHINGTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–LEON, the pioneer of Naturally Fast Food, today announced the release of its Spring 2020 Menu for its U.S. locations. And it’s one with a truly retro feel, serving up the vibrant, fresh and colorful flavors of the Mediterranean and Middle East that inspired LEON when it first launched in London on Carnaby Street in 2004.
Seventy-two restaurants later, LEON is still proving that fast food can taste good, do you good and be kind to the planet. But being in seven different countries around the world means being flexible, adaptable, and nimble when it comes to venturing overseas.
“If LEON were a novel, in the UK we would be on Chapter Twenty,” said John Vincent, CEO & Co-founder of LEON.“ In the U.S. however, we are still a young brand that is building its presence in the hearts of American customers. That is why we have decided to pivot our U.S. menu back to LEON’s roots and introduce our U.S. customers to the types of menu items from which we built our brand. In other words, we feel it’s important to start back at Chapter One.”
LEON’s new U.S. menu is primarily Mediterranean and Middle Eastern. The new items include:
