KnowFat! aims to pioneer the phrase "lifestyle grille". A lifestyle grille is a place where you can come in, eat at a restaurant, and then buy products for the rest of your healthy lifestyle. We are squarely on-trend and poised to become the leader in the new healthy fast-casual category. KnowFat! concentrates on mainstream food by offering up better-for-you menu items like chicken meatball wraps, honey mustard turkey tips, super lean cheeseburgers with low-fat cheese, and sides like colorful broccoli and our proprietary "AirFries". Our customers don't just want to eat well while they're in the restaurant; they want to buy products that support an overall healthy lifestyle. Each KnowFat! combines a quick-serve restaurant with a convenience-style retail store that carries the best health-oriented nutrition products on the market. There is nothing like this concept on the market today. KnowFat! Lifestyle Grille is the only concept of its kind- and we're ready to roll.
