“We are pleased to offer Bean Sprouts as an innovative retail option, particularly for children and their families who are in the hospital,” said Bart Kaericher, President and CEO of Aramark Healthcare+. “When kids are sick and families are feeling great stress, every interaction counts in helping to make the time in the hospital more manageable.”

In addition to a full menu for adults - including sandwiches, flatbread pizzas, and salads - Bean Sprouts’ signature Imaginibbles kids’ menu offers dishes to inspire children to eat wholesome foods. The Imaginibbles menu features options including “Crocamole,” an avocado crocodile that’s filled with hummus dip and carrot fangs, and “Spaceadilla,” a rocket-shaped chicken quesadilla that is described as “blasting off” with veggie flames!

Our goal is to spark kids’ appetites for yummy, good-for-you food; and delight grown-ups with a happier mealtime,” said Shannon Seip, co-founder of one of the only exclusively female-founded café chains in the country. “Bean Sprouts is a natural fit for children’s health care, and we are thrilled to make our debut at Children’s National.”

Aramark Healthcare+ recently began a new contract with Children’s National for clinical nutrition services and patient and retail dining. Bean Sprouts began operating last month as part of the new relationship.
