Gold River Residents Demonstrate Support for Local School at Rubio's Fresh Mexican Grill(R) Pre-Opening Event
June 08 2010 - 9:30AM
Gold River residents donated $3,000 on June 2nd to their local
school, Gold River Discovery Center, during a pre-opening
fundraiser held at the new Rubio's Fresh Mexican Grill in Gold
River. In lieu of paying at the register, diners were encouraged to
contribute money to the Gold River school, understanding that 100
percent of donations went directly to them. Rubio's showed its
support by allowing participants to order any menu item free of
charge throughout the two-hour event.
"What a fantastic night the Gold River community had at Rubio's
pre-opening event," said Megan Hansen, Vice Principal at Gold River
Discovery Center. "Everyone had a fantastic time, the food was
fabulous, and the staff out did themselves. It is clear that
Rubio's is a company that wants to be part of the community. The
generosity and support they have already shown Gold River Discovery
Center is remarkable. We look forward to many more events, and of
course great food, from Rubio's."
At 10 a.m. on Thursday, June 3rd, the new restaurant's doors
permanently opened to Rubio's fans in Gold River who crave the
Baja-inspired food in the relaxed yet festive atmosphere of coastal
Mexico. The menu features Rubio's World Famous Fish Tacos®, Grilled
Gourmet Tacos(SM), the Big Burrito EspeciaL(SM) with chargrilled
chicken or steak, freshly-made salads and Rubio's proprietary
HealthMex® line of tacos and burritos, which are under 700
calories, less than 30 percent of which come from fat. "Rubio's
fans came out in droves for our Gold River store opening," said
chairman and co-founder Ralph Rubio. "Not only were we happy that
people enjoyed the great food Rubio's offers, but Gold River
Discovery Center came away with needed funds that will sustain
their excellent school programs and staff. We're glad we could
support such an important part of the Gold River community."
The Gold River Rubio's will employ 30 team members from the
local community. It is the 10th Rubio's in the Sacramento Area in
addition to Elk Grove, three Sacramento locations, Folsom, Rancho
Cordova and three Roseville locations.
