Acadia Business Advisors, Llc. Helps Lillys Gourmet Pasta Franchise Expand

May 24, 2010 - PRLog -- CUMBERLAND, ME.  5/20/2010
Acadia Business Advisors, LLC., a leader in franchise development services for new and emerging franchise systems, is pleased to announce the opening of a new Lilly’s Gourmet Pasta Express restaurant at 1528 Tremont Street, on Mission Hill, in Boston, Massachusetts.  Matthew Postal, the new franchisee, has over fourteen years experience in restaurant management.  Starting as a sauté cook in a small Italian family owned restaurant, he eventually became an Executive Chef at a top North Shore eatery.  Having been a restaurant owner in the past, Matt knew the challenges of starting and successfully operating a restaurant.  “I’ve been consistently surprised and impressed with how the Lilly’s Gourmet Pasta franchise has simplified the business for me.  The food is phenomenal, the training and support has been excellent, and they’ve done a great job putting the systems into the operation that allow us to focus on providing exceptional customer service.  I look forward to building a great business serving the community of Mission Hill and eventually opening additional Lilly’s Gourmet Pasta restaurants in the future.
ABOUT LILLY’S GOURMET PASTA EXPRESS
Lilly D’Alelio came to the United States in 1983, with her young family and started creating and manufacturing artisan pastas for the top hotels and restaurants throughout New England.  Today, her pasta is made in three plants around the United States, supplying many of the finest restaurants in the country.  In the last few years, her son Antonio has developed a quick service restaurant retail franchise system.   The franchise focuses on serving the same gourmet pastas as the full service restaurants, for a fraction of the price, through online ordering, take-out, delivery, and catering.  The menu is cooked-to-order, typically in 3 to 5 minutes, with prices similar to subs or pizza.  They are now focused on expanding their retail franchise operations, initially in the Eastern half of the United States.  Franchisees offer sixteen varieties of fresh pasta and 28 toppings, as well as soups, sandwiches, appetizers, and desserts.  The concept is suited for both single and multiple unit investors, as well as those with limited restaurant experience.  For more information on this exciting new franchise concept, please visit www.lillysgourmetpasta.com.
