Pacini grows. Why did the largest hotel company in Banff, Canada, choose Pacini?
June 10, 2014, La Prairie, Quebec - Located in the heart of Alberta's Rocky Mountains, Banff Lodging Co, which already owns 9 hotels and 8 restaurants in the region, has chosen Pacini to create its future hotel site. Construction is scheduled to begin in autumn 2014, with the restaurant opening in spring 2016. Established over 30 years ago, Pacini is a Quebec-based Italian restaurant chain with 25 restaurants in Quebec and a branch in Calgary that opened 4 years ago, and has quickly become one of the city's must-try restaurants.
"The Pacini team worked hard to tailor the menu to the tastes of Western Canadians. Today, our success is reflected in record sales and complete customer satisfaction," says owner Jim Muir.
As the region's main employer, the Banff Lodging Co group was looking for a franchisor who would act as a partner and stand out for its human approach and authenticity. At Pacini, associates, franchisees and employees are at the heart of the company's development. This management model, implemented by Pacini president Pierre Marc Tremblay, has produced extraordinary results over the past ten years.
" Pacini is a perfect fit for our company and the town of Banff. Their focus on operations, commitment to the community and obvious passion for food and people made Pacini a clear choice for us," says Gordon Lozeman, President of Banff Lodging Co.
The chain offers an Italian-style dining experience that includes a small, welcoming grocery store where customers can purchase products imported from Italy. Pacini also offers an all-you-can-eat Bread Bar™, a unique and exclusive concept. The new Pacini restaurant will be open 7 days a week, from morning to night. It will thus be able to meet all the needs of hotel guests.
" Pacini is a place that offers its guests an exceptional experience, imbued with human warmth, high-quality ingredients and Italian authenticity," concludes Pierre Marc Tremblay.
With the health of its customers at heart, Pacini also makes every effort to reduce the salt content of each of its dishes and increase the availability of higher-fiber options. Pacini has innovated and won several awards for its Grand Virage, its Recognition Plan and its menu without artificial trans fats. The company employs nearly 1,000 people in Canada and has sales of over $40 million. Sales are growing steadily, despite the recession in the food industry in recent years. www.pacini.ca.
