Sports & Entertainment Group Selects Levy Restaurants as Partner to Build Fan Experience at New Quebec City Arena
(firmenpresse) - QUEBEC CITY, QUEBEC -- (Marketwired) -- 02/03/15 -- Benoit Robert, President and CEO of Quebecor Media Sports & Entertainment Group, today announced a strategic partnership with Levy Restaurants at the new Quebec City Arena, with an emphasis on building a world class experience with a local food and beverage program. The partnership is effective immediately and the arena is scheduled to open on September 15, 2015.
"Levy Restaurants is the undisputed North American leader in food, service and creating innovative guest experiences at sports and entertainment venues," said Benoit Robert. "Levy''s entire team clearly demonstrated to us that they have the expertise to effectively manage very high customer volume, to provide precisely that for the 18,400 seat Arena, with special attention to quality, relevance and guest satisfaction."
Food service management at an arena is a complex operation that demands specialized expertise. During major events, the challenge is to prepare and serve thousands of meals and beverages, ranging from fast food to gourmet dishes, in less than two-and-a-half hours.
Quebecor''s goal is to offer guests at the Quebec City Arena a diverse, accessible menu that features Quebec suppliers, highlighting local products and specialties with Quebec-based concepts available in the Arena. Levy''s operations will be led by a Quebec City chef, and supported by a local leadership and service team.
"In all facets of the Arena''s operations, Quebecor''s priority is to work with the top experts in the field while maximizing the economic benefits for Quebec businesses and providing the best possible customer experience," concluded Benoit Robert.
"We are excited to embark on this partnership with Quebecor," said Andy Lansing, President and CEO of Levy Restaurants. "This opportunity presents an exciting mission to build each aspect of the guest experience from the ground up, reflecting Quebec City''s distinct culture and tremendous community pride - especially when it comes to its food, arts and entertainment."
Working closely with Quebecor, Levy will help design a unique dining program for Quebec fans, drawing on its refined restaurant roots and experience serving leading sports and entertainment venues in North America, including major market arenas such as Chicago''s United Center, Miami''s AmericanAirlines Arena, Los Angeles'' STAPLES Center and New York''s Barclays Center.
The addition of the Quebec City Arena expands Levy''s Canadian sports and entertainment presence as the company built the food and beverage program from scratch at a pair of new Canadian Football League venues: Ottawa''s TD Place and Hamilton''s Tim Horton''s Stadium. Levy Restaurants operates both facilities.
