House of Toast is proud to announce that James (Jim) Lambert, our Northeastern Regional Vice President of Political Relations has been appointed to the President’s Corona Virus Task force.
“Jim will be a truly great addition to the team, he’s a great person, truly fabulous, and smart too.” said President Trump during the Friday Corona briefing. “We want to leverage Jim’s experiences in social distancing – he’s good at that, you know. Not many people know that about Jim, but I do. And he’ll be great at it.”
Jim will be working alongside Vice President Pence, US Global AIDS Coordinator, Deborah Brix, and Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Dr. Anthony Fauci as well as the other notable members of the President’s task force.
More details to come as the situation evolves. Once again, this showcases the talent of our House of Toast Leadership team. Way to go Jim!
facility will house the majority of the company’s corporate staff as well as provide a centralized training facility for local and regional managers. “This is a huge step for us.”, says Tom Porter, Founder and COB, “Our previous building was only 100,000 square feet and we had people on top of people.

After surviving 9 rounds of fast paced curling action, the House of Toast Curling team (led by David Flavell) has advanced to the final round of competition at the International Restaurant Owners Curling Championship. The team advanced after a narrow win against the Dutch team (who were sponsored in-part by the DeKater restaurant group www.dekater.com, and led by none other than Dirk Famularo).
“It was a close game all the way”, said Flavell, the teams Skip. We were in a sticky situation: Second end counting 5 rocks (opposition had 6th stone and Sage rink 7th) and 1 rock in front of the house with last rock to come (see diagram on left). Last rock called for an angle raise take-out with the shooter rolling in for the 8th counter. The diagram on the right shows the final position of all 8 rocks. The House of Toast team won 16-15, with odd eights against the wall.
The team now moves on to the final round of competition and according to Flavell, they plan to give the world champion Canadians (made up of members of the White Castle chain) a run for their money.
House of Toast is pleased to announce the opening of their first franchised restaurant in the United States. The store, located at 1256 Mendon Avenue in Cumberland, Rhode Island is owned and operated by the team of Kevin Jacques and Fred and Linda Jeffrey – otherwise known as J3 Enterprises.
Speaking to a group of local reporters Kevin Jacques stated that House of Toast is the perfect compliment to their other restaurants. “Everyone knows us for our Atomic Burrito success, this is a great way for us to diversify and reach a broader segment of the market.” Linda and Fred couldn’t agree more, “We were looking for something to compliment our Atomic Burrito concept but didn’t want to have to start from scratch. Investing in a House of Toast franchise was a no-brainer for us – heck, we are probably their most active customers anyway!”
The Cumberland, Rhode Island store is one of the largest QSTs (quick service toastuaries) in the area and is also the first to showcase our Series-12 TDK (Toast Distribution Kiosk). By following the on-screen directions users can select from assorted type of bread, determine the breads re-hydrated thickness, establish toasting preference and then choose from a wide variety of spreads. An extremely elegant and well designed unit, the Series-12 will be introduced in all stores by the end of the year.
“House of Toast is pleased to be part of Greek (and world) history.” he said, “The building is in need of some minor repairs but we think we can get it fixed up pretty quickly. All it needs is a bit of spackle and some touch-up paint”
Showing their support for the local community, employees from House of Toast’s corporate office joined staff from Weingarth Bread Importers this past weekend to raise money for the American Cancer Society. The grim weather couldn’t dampen the spirits of the team as they walked through the night during this national fundraising event.
The highlight of the event was the presentation of a check for $3000 to the American Cancer Society by Beth Richards, Sr. VP of Operations at Weingarth Bread Importers and Mona Weatherspoon, Sr. VP of Marketing at House of Toast.
