Goodcents Launches 'Committee Against Lackluster Bread' to Rescue Sandwich Lovers From Bad Bread

Goodcents has launched the Committee Against Lackluster Bread (C.A.L.B.), an initiative taking a stand against the nationwide epidemic of hard, stale bread. Formed in response to growing consumer frustration with substandard quick-service restaurant sandwich offerings, C.A.L.B. is on a mission to raise the standard of bread, presenting information about the campaign as a reference for improving bread quality.

Taking a humorous approach complete with a dedicated hotline where caller reports of bad bread trigger a promo code for a discounted Goodcents purchase, the issue for local franchise owners is entirely serious, as bread quality is the foundation of every Goodcents sandwich. Other brands are sacrificing quality, while Goodcents is doubling down on its 37-year heritage of baking its signature pillowy-soft bread fresh in-store every day. The campaign also reinforces the brand's signature Goodcents Experience, a focus on genuine hospitality and customer service that sets the franchise apart from other fast-casual chains.

"For nearly four decades, we've believed that a sandwich is only as good as the bread it's built on," said Joe Bisogno, founder and CEO of Goodcents. "While C.A.L.B. brings a fun, lighthearted energy to a real frustration people face every day, our commitment behind it is unwavering. We take our meals and our Goodcents Experience seriously because no one should ever have to settle for a lackluster meal."

As part of the rollout, consumers who have recently fallen victim to lackluster bread are encouraged to call the official C.A.L.B. Hotline.
