‘Kolache Factory Cares’ Pays It Forward to the Frontlines

Despite mounting losses at local restaurants, Kolache Factory is doubling down on its commitment to the community by launching two new Kolache Factory Cares initiatives in April.

“Restaurants are having a tough time, but we know there are others who have it worse, and those who are working hard on the frontlines, putting themselves at risk every day,” said Dawn Nielsen, Kolache Factory COO. “That’s why we are launching ‘Kolache Factory Cares… Fueling the Frontline’ and ‘Kolache Factory Cares… Adopt a Frontline Hero.’”

Here are the details:

• Kolache Factory Cares… Fueling the Frontline: Medical workers and first responders can come by and grab a free breakfast to go (sausage and cheese or fruit kolache and coffee) each or any day in April, just show your medical ID. Choose takeout, drive-thru, or call ahead and have it delivered curbside. No online orders at this time.

• Kolache Factory Cares… Adopt a Frontline Hero: Any company, organization, or individual is invited to place a paid order with us, and have it delivered to the frontline hero of their choice. It could be a hospital, clinic, police, fire, paramedic - any essential workers out on the frontlines would love to be an adopted hero and receive kolaches and appreciation!

The Adopt A Frontline Hero campaign is a triple win at a time when everyone needs a win!

When local companies or organizations Adopt a Frontline Hero and place an order, they are not only saying ‘Thank you’ to those on the frontlines with a kolache delivery but they are helping local restaurants too. In a small way, the Kolache Factory Cares initiatives offer a great opportunity for all of us to do what we can to help others. And if COVID-19 has shown us anything, we are all in this together.

We invite you to help us pay it forward by spreading the word about Kolache Factory Cares… Fueling the Frontline and Adopt a Frontline Hero!

Kolache Factory was founded in 1982 in Houston, Texas, by John and Jerri Banks, who identified a need for a fresh, high-quality breakfast that could be eaten “on the run.” The Banks’s encouraged consumers to try the high-quality, fresh pastries filled with fruits, meat, and cheeses and soon they were in high demand for business meetings, family breakfasts, on-the-go lunches, and afternoon snacks. Kolache Factory has been recognized as one of the Top 5 Drive-thru’s in America by Food Network, one of the fastest-growing companies in Houston and one of the top 50 foodservice bakeries in the United States by Modern Baking magazine.

In addition, Franchise Times magazine recently named Kolache Factory one of the 300 biggest brands in franchising by worldwide sales in 2017. In addition, Entrepreneur magazine named it among the top 200+ food-based franchises in 2019. Kolache Factory is privately owned and operated and headquartered in Katy, Texas.
