A Boston Chicken, Inc. Franchisee June 6, 1995 Conunissioner Daniel Wall Roseville Planning Commission City of Roseville 2660 Civic Center Drive Roseville, MN" 55113 Dear Commissioner Wall: Enclosed please find information explaining the Boston Market Restaurant concept. We at Northstar Restaurants, Inc., the area developer franchisee for the upper midwest, provide this infonnation so you may familiarize yourself with our concept prior to the upcoming Planning Commission Meeting. Boston Market is the fastest growing restaurant concept in the United States today. The company currently has 650 stores open nationwide. We anticipate opening 30 stores in the Twin Cities in the next two years. We currently have eight stores open in Apple Valley, Eagan, White Bear Township, Coon Rapids, West St. Paul, the Highland Park neighborhood of St. Paul, Brooklyn Center, and St. Louis Park. We are under construction in 8t. Cloud, Crystal, Columbia Heights and Chanhassen. We hope to be open in the City of RoseviIle by the middle of the forth quarter. Boston Market is a unique concept that combines the quality of traditional casual dining restaurants with the convenience of quick service. All of the food is made fresh daily on the premises. The preparation and cooking area comprise two thirds of the space of the building, similar to a full service restaurant. There are no microwaves or deep-fat fryers on the premises. The chicken is marinated for 24 hours and cooked in the rotisserie oven for 90 minutes. The chicken soup, pot pies, and side dishes are made fresh daily and never frozen. The staff begins work at 7:00 a.m. to prepare for an 11 :00 a.m, opening time. The fresh side dish offerings vary by season include Mashed Potatoes, Buttered Corn, Cole Slaw, Zucchini Marinara, Garlic and Dill Potatoes, Stuffing and Tortellini Salad. Recently, Turkey, Ham and Meatloaf were introduced as additional entree items, hence the name change to Boston Market from Boston Chicken. The food is presented in deli cases and served directly to the customer by servers as they proceed through a cafeteria style line. Residents of the Twin Cities will find this process to be very similar to that of Lee Ann Chin's. Customers can dine in or take their food home. Our typical restaurant seats 55-60 people, and historically approximately half the customers will eat in the dining area. We welcome you to experience Boston Market first hand at one of our local stores. The White Bear Lake Township store, located at Highway 35E and Highway 96, and/or the Highland Park store at the intersection of Ford Parkway and Cleveland Avenue in 8t. Paul, are the closest open stores to Roseville, Thank you for your consideration. We look forward to becoming a member ofthe business community in Roseville.
