LaMar’s Donuts
Franchise To Take Flight With Frontier Airlines Two Denver-based companies partner to serve
LaMar’s Donuts on Frontier flights
November 26, 2005
– DENVER – As part of its ongoing effort to provide “Simply
a Better Donut” to donut aficionados everywhere, Denver-based LaMar’s
Donuts Franchise Company has partnered with Frontier Airlines to provide
its award-winning donuts to Frontier passengers aboard select flights
starting Dec. 1.
“As the ‘Official
Donut of Frontier Airlines’ LaMar’s Donuts will be served
to Frontier passengers aboard 17 Denver-bound flights,” said Anthony
Bonelli, chief executive officer of LaMar’s Donuts. “The airline’s
commitment to quality is one of the primary reasons we were so drawn to
this partnership. To that end, the addition of LaMar’s donuts to
its inflight catering service, gives Frontier yet another strong differentiator
in an industry that is known for its fierce competition.”
The LaMar’s
Apple Spice cake donut will be the first donut served to passengers on
flights during December. In subsequent months, a different LaMar’s
Donut will be rotated among the 17 flights.
Adding to its existing
incentives of low fares, new Airbus aircraft with DirecTV in every seatback
and of course its legendary customer service, Frontier Airlines is giving
passengers yet another reason to choose its flights: free LaMar’s
Donuts.
“Frontier is
constantly searching for ways we can provide an experience that is ‘A
Whole Different Animal,’” said Andrew Hudson, senior director
of marketing, advertising and communications for Frontier Airlines. “With
the addition of LaMar’s donuts, not only are we offering a superior
product to our customers, but we are once again bucking the trend and
adding a level of service that most airlines either charge for or don’t
offer at all.”
LaMar’s Donuts
has franchise operations in seven states and is actively recruiting new
franchise operators. The company’s doughnuts have been named “best
doughnut” by magazines, newspapers and in reader surveys in publications
across the country.
