QUOTES:

“One of our big primary goals with Little Sesame was to give people kind of an escape. Because when you take warm pita and you’re ripping it into hummus, you can’t really be on your phone.” “I think a trend that’s really going to be here to stay is how do you meet the customer where they are?” “We really believe in the power of the chickpea, the power of the shared meal, and it’s something we want to bring to a lot of people.”
