Many families are hunkering down at home in response to physical distancing and shelter-in-place measures enacted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which is seeing companies create offerings with this in mind like these new family meals from Noodles & Company.
The meals are priced at $40 each and come with four entrees along with two sides to offer enough food to feed a family of four or perhaps even provide multi-meal support for couples. Customers can choose from the Italian Classics, Mac Pack, Asian Bowls or World Flavor varieties to enjoy restaurant-quality meals from home without having to do any cooking.
The new family meals from Noodles & Company are available for curbside pick-up, takeout or delivery at participating locations. The company has also pledged to provide a regular-sized bowl for a healthcare worker for every family meal purchased to support frontline workers.
