For the record TONY LUKE's, in partnership with family-owned global farm-to-table innovator Rastelli Foods Group (www.RastelliDirect.com) is preparing a US company-owned retail store roll-out with the opening of prototype units in Sicklerville and Deptford, NJ as well as a Mall Store prototype opening this month in Springfield (Delco), PA. To-date the Tony Luke's brand has successful sattelite operations at Citizens Bank Park, Lincoln Financial Field, Borgata Casino, NJ, Dover Downs Casino, DE and at aLoft W Hotels. The opening of free-standing stores in NYC, LA and anywhere else in the US is a function of establishing, testing and refining quality assurance systems with reliable supply and replicated production and service models. Other than the aforementioned operating units, two previous "experiments" were discontinued, despite enormous success, because they were deemed unsupportable in terms of quality by TONY LUKE's management and its partners. Finally, as to the issue of sufficient demand in the Middle East and other overseas markets, it is enormous and growing exponentially, With Rastelli Foods Group, which has extensive operations in 88 countries, TONY LUKE's is already an estalished brand and operationally viable in the Middle East, Caribbean and soon in Europe and the UK. Also TONY LUKE's Pronto frozen foods have been hugely successful, now available in up to 5000 supermarkets, convenience, mass retail and club stores. A second phase "New & Improved" All Natural -- lowsodium and hormone, steroid, antibiotics FREE -- product line is scheduled for release before the end of this year.
Seriously, how come Tony can't get a NYC or even West Coast spot (he's tried) and now he wants to do 60 locations in the Middle East? Is there really a big market there?

[...] Tony Luke Opens Cheesesteak Shop in Bahrain. Two years ago, the international-empire-building Luke started hawking frozen cheesesteaks. Now, the Middle East. Wonder what Joey Vento thinks of “wiz wit” being uttered in Arabic? [City Paper] [...]
Sounds like a lot of bullshit to me from someone that is on the Rastelli foods payroll. If they pay me I will write anything they want.
