JACKSON, Miss. – Unified Brands has acquired North Carolina-based food delivery provider, A la Cart. The new partnership will see A la Cart, a leader in patient meal-delivery systems for the healthcare industry, integrated into existing foodservice operations at Unified Brands.
“Unified Brands offers A la Cart the resources to do more of what we do best,” said Wade Moyer, president of A la Cart. “With the ongoing pressure in healthcare to lower costs — while simultaneously providing greater meal flexibility and better patient satisfaction — I’sm excited about the expanded opportunities Unified Brands brings to the A la Cart product line.”
Bill Strenglis, president of Unified Brands, acknowledged the reasoning behind the merger. “A la Cart is the premier brand and leader in advanced food meal delivery systems for the healthcare market segment,” he said. “As the newest brand in our family of brands, A la Cart meets our strategic initiative of gaining market share in growing market segments.”
