Rutter's Introduces New Food Options

YORK, Pa. -- Rutter's Farm Stores introduced four new delicacies -- oatmeal, cheesecake, pretzel dogs and fried green beans -- to the chain's expanding touch-screen menu.

"Adding oatmeal to our breakfast offering was an easy decision to make," stated Jerry Weiner, vice president of foodservice. "We wanted to expand our appeal at breakfast time to a wider span of people, as well as continue to offer healthy options."

The oatmeal is maple and brown sugar-flavored and has granola, brown sugar or raisins available as toppings with each serving.

Pellman's cheesecake, a central Pennsylvania favorite, is available by the slice from the touch-screen menu in three flavors: plain, chocolate chip and strawberry swirl.

The pretzel dog is as simple and delicious as it sounds. Customers can choose between salted and unsalted versions of the pretzel, which wraps around the hot dog. Each customer may also choose from ketchup, mustard or nacho cheese to pair with the snack.

Fried green beans offer a delicious alternative to traditional side items. They can be ordered by themselves as a snack, or as a side in a combo meal or kid's meal combo.

The addition of these new items will expand the range of appetites attracted to the Rutter's menu, while introducing new tastes to those already partial to Rutter's food, the retailer said.

Rutter's Farm Stores operates 55 convenience stores throughout south central Pennsylvania.
