To promote healthy eating and active lifestyles at an early age, Denny’s (NASDAQ:
DENN), America’s home for real, classic breakfasts, has expanded its
kid’s menu to include delicious, nutritious meals and side items. The
move is part of Denny’s Better For You campaign, launched in June 2009.
The menu provides affordable meal solutions to combat poor eating habits
and the rise of childhood obesity. An active lifestyle-themed menu
informs kids and parents on ways to stay healthy.
In addition to current kids favorites, Denny’s new Better For You
choices for kids include Tumbling Vanilla (vanilla yogurt with
strawberry topping), “High Diving Veggies” (carrots, celery and
cucumber), Apple Dunkers, Jell-O®, “Spaghetti, Set, Go!”
(spaghetti with marinara sauce), and pudding. Denny’s also eliminated
several items from the previous kid’s menu, including Big Dipper
French-Toastix™ (French toast sticks), hot dogs, and “D-Fusion™” sugar
beverage packets.
“Denny's is proactively and voluntarily adjusting and amending its menus
to provide better for you, but still fun, option choices for children
whose families dine with us,” says John Dillon, vice president of
marketing and product development at Denny’s. “It’s important to note
we’ve developed these Better For You meal items with kids and parents in
mind. We researched directly with kids to make sure we’re giving them
great tasting food they love. So parents not only will have happy
children, but they'll feel good about the choices their kids have on our
new menu.”
Denny’s affordable kids meals are offered at restaurants nationwide with
prices starting at $2.99 depending on location. Additionally, families
can enjoy great savings with the Kids Eat Free program served from 4 to
10 p.m. on Tuesdays and at participating restaurants on Saturdays.
