A new high-tech salad bar has opened at several Coborn’s grocery stores throughout the region, including here in Princeton, along with Elk River, Ramsey, and Otsego. Coborn’s and Swedish salad company Picadeli announced they were rolling out the new salad bar as part of a pilot program in the region, which is expected to expand to additional stores later this year. Unlike traditional salad bars, Picadeli offers guests elevated options including plant-based proteins, grains, seafood and seasonal specialties. The units use digital signage and touch screens to showcase the nutritional values of all ingredients, and temperature- controlled food compartments to ensure optimal food safety and less waste.
“Picadeli is known worldwide for revolutionizing the salad bar and we’re delighted to offer our guests a healthy and quick meal option focused on freshness, variety and flavor,” said Dennis Host, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Communications of Coborn’s, Inc. “More importantly this distinguished salad bar features innovative technology to keep food safe and prioritizes variety and proper food hygiene. During the COVID pandemic, we were forced to close almost all of our self-service salad bar offerings to ensure our guests’ safety. We’re excited to be able to bring back the salad bar with a new, innovative offering through our partnership with Picadeli.”
