Health Check

Monday, September 28th, 2009

Our menu is designed to be of high quality, fresh and healthy.  Our focus on healthy food is important to my brothers and I because we care about what we eat and would only serve food that we would eat ourselves.

To support our healthy menu we contacted the Heart and Stroke Foundation to see if we could participate in their Health Check Program.  We now have 8 sandwiches and 5 soups that have been certified by the Heart and Stroke Foundation.  These sandwiches have a minimum of 10 grams of protein and 2 portions of vegetables and less than 950 mg of salt and 10 grams of fat.

If you truly care about what you eat then DRUXY’S offers many options that will offer you a balanced and healthy meal.  Check out our Health Check sandwiches on our website and for catering consider our Health Check Sandwich Tray.

Enjoy and be healthy!

Fresh Deli Revolution!

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

For 33 years DRUXY’S Famous Deli Sandwiches has proudly upheld the deli tradition of serving the freshest, highest quality food available.  Slicing hot deli meats to each customer’s order has been the central focus, add to this preparation directly before each customer’s eyes so they can direct and watch exactly how we prepare his or her meal.

The recent economic turmoil has challenged us all.  We realized that we had to push the envelop to ensure that we were doing the very best for our customers and stay current while upholding our deli tradition.

Three months ago we contracted with Spinning Wheel Design, to evaluate our restaurants and determine a new look and direction for the future.  Spinning Wheel is at the forefront of food and retail design but more importantly understands the value of tradition.  I am proud to announce that Spinning Wheel has been able to combine the best of both worlds in our new restaurant design.  The focus of the design is a clean, fresh look that focuses on our food while making the customer experience more comfortable.  We are excited that our first 2 renovations will be done later this month at 1200 Eglinton Avenue East and at Buttonville Airport.

To tie in with this new design we felt it was necessary to retool our marketing and have contracted with The adLib Group to be our new agency.  They too have reviewed our past and will be focusing our marketing around the catch phrase “Fresh Deli Revolution”.  This combines our effort to be true to our deli tradition while taking this tradition into a new more modern era.

While the past has been good to DRUXY’S and our loyal customers, the future is brighter than ever with many projects ahead.

Our new and improved website is up and running!

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

DRUXY’S has been an online innovator for over 10 years.  To keep ahead of the market, we have reinvented our website to make it better than ever.  The new site features many enhancements including:

  • Improved user interface for simplified navigation
  • Information centric Home Page that is constantly updated
  • Blog and Twitter integration for seamless community interaction
  • Improved food visuals throughout, replicating a restaurant feeling
  • More helpful and informative Franchise section, for those looking to become a franchisee
  • A greatly improved store finder with a better integration of maps

And this is just the start.  We have begun work on several additional projects that we hope to launch shortly:

  • Improved nutritional wizard to help you build your sandwich or salad as nutritious as you wish
  • Mobile Applications to help you find the nearest store and even place an order in advance

The Internet is an exciting frontier that offers an important ability to communicate with our customers.   We are committed to remaining at the forefront in developing our website and associated applications.

If you have any suggestions on how we can improve your online experience we are always interested in hearing from you.

Thanks
