Terra Sana: Catering Well with Organic Growth

Sept. 2, 2008 - PRLog -- For Terra Sana has become one of the most famous - and successful - brands in the South of Spain, synonymous with fresh, organic ingredients, innovative menus, and a funky and environmentally aware approach. But the locally iconic little red guy holding the sunrise can now be found on more than shop fronts and menus. In addition to the newly opened deli on the Golden Mile and the office sandwich delivery service in Marbella, there are more and more Terra Sana vans on the road thanks to their wildly successful line in event catering in Marbella and beyond.

For ten years, Terra Sana has been spreading its concept of fresh, locally and organically produced ingredients; exciting and regularly changing menus; and food made with love. The restaurants quickly started popping up along the Costa del Sol thanks to a fantastic word-of-mouth reputation and the brand grew just as organically as the produce they felt so passionately about. As people started packing out the restaurants and telling their friends that, finally, they’ve found a place they can get delicious smoothies and wraps on the Costa del Sol, the reputation and the chain expanded. New restaurants opened to meet the rising demand, including Terra Sana ‘Express’: smaller outlets where you could grab a quick bite in the La Cañada shopping centre, Marbella port and Marina Banus.

Soon the Terra Sana logo was as much part of the coast’s ‘landscape’ as the Marbella arches, and its California Wrap was local legend. Stephen Sweeney, owner, takes up the story: “Terra Sana has never been slave to a marketing plan. We opened our first restaurant simply to provide fresh, healthy food which tasted great, and the success made it possible to grow into a chain. It wasn’t long before myself and members of the Terra Sana team were getting asked if we would cater for parties and events so it seemed natural to extend the services and bring our concept into people’s homes, offices and parties.”

And so Terra Sana Catering was born; the company now brings its extensive menu and professional and friendly service to events up and down the Costa del Sol, from wedding catering in Estepona, to birthday party catering in Sotogrande and corporate catering in Marbella. Terra Sana’s length of time on the coast has resulted in a wealth of invaluable contacts and these are used to great effect in the catering arm of the company. The team can book bands, hire photographers, recommend florists, decorations, and even gifts. As a result, the service has evolved into more than just catering. Terra Sana catering is able to offer a full event management service, with co-ordinators overseeing the entire event, ensuring that the day or evening flows as planned, and keeping an eye on the finer details. This goes some way to explain the success of Terra Sana catering, but perhaps the real reason is more simple, as Toni Foran, head of Terra Sana catering and event management explains: “One of the most common things we hear in feedback is that people relax as soon as they know that Terra Sana are doing their catering. People know the quality of the food and the service from our restaurants and are confident they’ll receive the same for their event.”

There’s no doubt that the Terra Sana brand is one of the success stories of the Costa del Sol. The success they are enjoying in the catering business is just one part of their organic growth, with lots more exciting plans afoot in the Terra Sana camp. It seems that little red guy holding the sunrise is going to be popping up all over the place – look out for him!
