For over 30 years, Amy's Kitchen has been known for their ready-made vegetarian meals at the grocery store. When Amy's decided the time was right to change the fast food landscape and open their first brick & mortar restaurant, they found the perfect Sonoma County home right off Highway 101 in Rohnert Park.
Amy's Drive Thru Restaurant Manager Paul Schiefer says,
"Amy's is proud to be part of Rohnert Park - the City has just the right 'secret sauce' that enabled us to be so successful. From entitlement to building permits, the City has been a great partner."
Amy’s had big dreams for their first location, including a water tower, solar panels, and a living roof. The City worked creatively and collaboratively with the team from Amy’s, allowing the first ever Amy’s Drive Thru to open to great fanfare in 2015. As Amy’s looks to open additional locations in California and beyond, Rohnert Park is proud of the role it played, and continues to play in this revolutionary, veggie burger success story, and stands ready to work with similar businesses in the future.
