November 03, 2009 – (Norton, MA –November 3, 2009) - Cumberland Farms celebrated the grand-opening of its newly remodeled concept store here today with a community wide fundraiser to support the students at Norton High School.
Starting today the company will donate 20 cents from every ChillZone beverage and cup of coffee sold at the revamped store to the Norton High School Student Activity Agency, with a minimum goal of $1,000. The donation will support students in need of financial assistance, class field trips and awards ceremonies, among other activities.
“We are grateful for Cumberland Farms’ support as our extra-curricular activities are vitally important to our students’ experience at Norton High School,” said Principal Raymond Dewar.
“We are dedicated to making life a little bit easier for the residents of Norton,” said. Ari Haseotes, president of Cumberland Farms Retail Division. “This fundraiser is our way of saying thank you for the support the town has given us through the years.”
Visitors to the new Cumberland Farms will notice a change upon taking the first step through the front door. From a wide variety of sandwiches that can be toasted on site, to thick chocolate milkshakes, flatbread breakfast sandwiches and even personal pepperoni pizzas, the new menu is squarely focused on fresh food, and is steeped in the company’s farm-family heritage. Customers can be their own baristas at the coffee bar, stocked with the delicious new Farmhouse Blend, or opt for a cold beverage at the trademark ChillZone.
