"This incredible partnership has enabled us to create an exciting menu featuring fresh, chef-driven and nutritious options that will have arena visitors coming back for more,” said Alvaro Luque, Avocados From Mexico president and chief executive officer. “Avocados are healthy in and of themselves and consumers are clearly demanding foods that are both nutrient dense and delicious.”

Avocado popularity continues to soar as consumers crave the versatile fruit and research shows they are willing to pay more for it when eating away from home. Avocados From Mexico is the only year-round, fresh avocado source that foodservice operators can feature, no matter the season. To keep fans buzzing about AvoEats, Avocados From Mexico will unveil new innovative menu items created by professional chefs throughout the year.

“We are thrilled to continue to cultivate strong partnerships with north Texas-based companies like Avocados From Mexico,” said Dave Brown, American Airlines Center chief operating officer and general manager. “It is extremely exciting for us to host the first-ever Avocados From Mexico AvoEats concession stands in our arena. Guests are going to be blown away by the variety and quality of the avocado-based concession options available this season.”

The American Airlines Center is a world-class facility that hosts more than 2.5 million guests at over 200 events each year, including hockey and basketball games, as well as chart-topping concerts and events, making it a premiere property to connect with fans and showcase the Avocados From Mexico brand.

Avocados from Mexico will be celebrating the launch of AvoEats over the coming weeks with members of the Dallas/Ft. Worth Community through a variety of events that will share the passion for Avocados from Mexico.
