End long relationship with Camden Yards food vendor

End long relationship with Camden Yards food vendor

Aramark Corp in atlanta thrashers jersey has been serving ballpark fare at Camden Yards since the stadium opened in 1992. But next year, the Baltimore Orioles will break their long-standing relationship with one of the country's largest food service operators and go with a new concessionaire. Last month, Aramark warned state regulators in hockey jerseys that it could lay off more than 600 employees if its food and retail service contract with the Orioles was not renewed. On Tuesday, Greg Bader, an Orioles spokesman, confirmed that the team would not renew Aramark's contract for next year and that the team was in talks with another vendor.

"We're currently negotiating with a concessionaire of national significance," Bader who liked atlanta thrashers jerseys very much said. He declined to name the company because a contract has not been signed. In recent years, Aramark worked with the Orioles to revamp the stadium menu. The ballpark started offering gluten-free food as well as local fare, such as cuisine from Attman's deli. Three years ago, Aramark in a boston bruins jersey said it would no longer use trans-fat cooking oils.

Aramark and the Orioles also introduced club-level seats with all-you-can-eat menus. Fans wearing bruins jerseys could stuff themselves with hot dogs, peanuts, popcorn, nachos, garden salads, ice cream and soda — starting at $40 per ticket. Aramark also operated the Orioles' souvenir store at the park. "We are proud of our successful 19-year partnership with the Orioles and our strong record of enhancing the fan experience with outstanding food, beverage and retail merchandise programs, and we hope to have an opportunity to partner with the team once again in the future," said David Freireich, an Aramark spokesman in a buffalo sabres jersey.

Aramark, which is based in Philadelphia and employs 255,000 workers in sabres jerseys, had revenue of $12.3 billion and posted a loss of $6.9 million last year. The company has more than 40 concession contracts with teams from Major League Baseball, the National Basketball Association, the National Hockey League and the National Football League, including a deal for food service for the Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium, according to its website. For food service workers at Camden Yards, the change from Aramark to another vendor will not necessarily mean the loss of a job and a hurricane new jersey. The Orioles have said that current Aramark workers would likely be offered jobs by a new concessionaire.

The Maryland Stadium Authority, which owns Camden Yards, is involved in contract negotiations with the potential new food service vendor, according to Michael J. Frenz, the authority's executive director. He declined to name the company. Frenz in a carolina hurricanes jersey said the authority had the right of approval of any new contract, and also negotiates with the vendor for nongame catering at the stadium. Frenz said the authority saw declining revenue over the past three years for events catered by Aramark. In 2007, nongame catered events brought the state $300,000, while last year that number had dropped by half, Frenz said. Frenz said the authority had been pleased with Aramark and that he did not know why the Orioles chose not to go with the company next year. "We've been happy with them wearing panthers jerseys," Frenz said.

They haven’t been past the second round of the playoffs in florida panthers jerseys since 2003, when they won their third Cup in nine years and were known for their suffocating neutral-zone trap, and they have gone through coach after coach. Now they have yet another new coach in John MacLean, who intends to open up the offense with weapons like Ilya Kovalchuk, Patrik Elias and Zach Parise. Especially considering the way the Devils went all-in on Kovalchuk wearing montreal canadiens jersey– who cost them $100 million over 15 years in the end, plus a $3-million fine and two high draft picks after an arbitrator ruled their original 17-year, $102 million deal circumvented the salary cap – this seems to be a boom-or-bust gamble.
