Fruitive names Orange Orchard public relations agency of record

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., June 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Fruitive, a 100% whole-food, plant-based restaurant, has selected the global vegan-owned and vegan-focused agency Orange Orchard as its public relations agency of record to promote awareness of the fast casual brand's all-natural, made-from-scratch menu and the launch of national franchising opportunities.

"When I started Fruitive, I wanted it to be a place that was genuine and authentic, and I was looking for the same thing from a PR agency," said Gregg Rozeboom, founder and CEO of Fruitive. "We've seen the impressive record of success Orange Orchard has had in the plant-based sector. Even more important, I knew after I talked to Heather that we shared the same commitment to compassion and social responsibility. Orange Orchard is completely in sync with Fruitive's values and vision."

Rozeboom opened the first Fruitive in Virginia Beach in 2011 in response to growing demand for healthy, whole-food, plant-based meals in a fast-casual setting. The company has opened additional locations in Washington, D.C., and Norfolk, Virginia, and is now offering franchise opportunities nationwide.

"The market for healthy vegan foods is continuing to grow, and that's presenting incredible business opportunities as well as making the world a better place," said Orange Orchard CEO Heather Ripley. "Gregg's mission – to serve healthy plant-based meals made with whole foods – resonates with consumers. With his passion and Orange Orchard's extensive experience in the franchise industry,   we're confident that Fruitive is set to make a nationwide positive impact."
