PB AMUSEMENT AND SPIRELLO DONATE NEARLY 10,000 POUNDS OF PRODUCT TO COMMUNITY-BASED FOOD RESCUE PROGRAM

Just in time for the holidays, PB Amusement, LLC and Spirello BV has teamed up to donate nearly 9,750 pounds of Spirello^TM (the only Pre-Cut, Pre-Fried, Pre-Frozen, Spiral Potato-on-a-Stick) to Table to Table, a 25-year-old New Jersey’s food rescue organization.  Pete Barto, President of PB Amusement, LLC said, “Robert Luttjehuizen (Owner, Spirello BV in the Netherlands) and I had discussed a few ideas for making positive use of some extra product we had on hand at the end of the season and settled on donating it to a community organization that serves more than 250 community organizations in the area.”  According to the Table to Table website (www.tabletotable.org), the non-profit organization has provided delivery of healthy foods that has helped create more than 300 million meals for food pantries, food banks, shelters, day care/after school programs and senior centers that serve people who are food insecure and economically disadvantaged in northern NJ.

Spirello^TM has been popular product at some of the largest parks in Europe for many years, producing several hundred thousand Spirello^TM for amusement park guests seeking a unique, quick, on-the-go, hot, savory snack alternative to traditional french fries.  Often offered in custom-designed, plug-and-play Spirello^TM themed cottages, the product only recently started distribution in the U.S.  Luttjehuizen said, “I hope we continue to successfully grow distribution in the U.S. and can provide a donation like this to a worthy organization helping to feed the hungry every year.”  Parks interested in learning how to successfully offer SpirelloTM to their snack food offering next year can contact Pete Barto (pbarto@pbamusement.com).
