Are you the proverbial needle in a haystack?

First Entrant, Simple, Scalable, Timely, Socially Sustainable Solution to a Big and Growing National and Increasingly International HEALTH & INEQUALITY Problem

Our objective is to bring something unique to the States in the form of a healthier food experience / better eating habits, within the context of social sustainability (living wage & practices, employee-union-people friendly, humane & inspiring respectful environment providing meaningful work and opportunities to grow professionally & personally, embrace & promote diversity of all kinds) and an undercurrent of several thousand years of art.

The PROBLEM:

Current and growing health problems associated with poor eating habits (contributing to obesity, diabetes, etc.) afflict everyone in one way or another where fast-food prevails and fast-food prevails virtually everywhere AND income inequality particularly in the food service sector make it virtually impossible for hard working people to work their way out of poverty.

Our SOLUTION:

Lilly’s authentic, truly unique, and as first entrant, disruptive solution to the health crisis arising from poor eating habits is a keenly focused product offering consisting of a few simple high quality, healthier, appealing and tasty old world charm ITALIAN “snack” foods as found in a typical small (approx. 1,500 sf) Italian bread bakery shop (panificio) on a mostly TAKE-OUT and DELIVERY basis (NOT full service restaurant), and service that connects with customers. Simple and inviting yet elegant Italian store design / panache, and emphasis on social sustainability will position Lilly’s as a compelling healthier “SLOW FOOD” alternative to “fast food” inspiring customers with better eating habits that contribute to better health facilitating a more fulfilling life. Tasty, healthier offerings satisfy the palate contributing to portion control. We will do our part to combat poverty and income inequality by paying employees a living wage (social sustainability).

The OPPORTUNITY:

Leverage our simplicity and uniqueness so as to scale and create a brand quickly. We will roll-out in NYC, then perfect the model and open approx. 39 shops in NYC within 3 years. NYC will serve as the springboard for national expansion (669 shops within 10 years), and eventually internationally.
