Lettieri and Hero Make Powerful St. Clair Combo
New St. Clair Combo Location Matches Gourmet Burgers and Great Coffee

(Toronto, Canada—Sept. 16 , 2004)Lettieri Espresso Bar and Café is prepared to announce the opening not only of another location serving the finest Italian style coffee, panini, and pasta, but a new location for Hero Certified Burgers as well. What is the catch with the two openings? There is really only one opening as the St. Clair location will be the second combo-store matching Lettieri and Hero in a powerful combination.

Lettieri has long been a provider of the finest coffee in Toronto, but it is Hero Certified Burgers that has created excitement around the city. Serving the tastiest juicy gourmet hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken, and veggie burgers around, Hero has quickly gained a reputation for quality and service that customers have already come to expect from Lettieri. With the opening of the combo location, people have a wide variety of options for fast, delicious, and healthy meals as well as Italian style coffees and other beverages in one convenient location.
