PHILADELPHIA, PA (May 31, 2016) – With the NHL’s Stanley Cup Finals underway and NBA Finals about to begin, the stage is set for Aramark to once again, play a crucial role in each sport’s championship series. As the exclusive food and beverage partner of the Pittsburgh Penguins, San Jose Sharks and Cleveland Cavaliers, Aramark (NYSE: ARMK) is preparing to deliver championship caliber hospitality to fans attending games at CONSOL Energy Center, SAP Center and Quicken Loans Arena.
“As the NHL and NBA post-seasons draw to an end, we are honored to partner with three of the four remaining teams still vying for hockey and basketball supremacy,” said Carl Mittleman, President of Aramark’s Sports and Entertainment division. “Time and again our team of seasoned service stars has risen to the occasion of sports marquee events. We understand what it takes to fuel the finals experience for fans and look forward to delivering a championship-worthy performance just as much as the players competing on the ice and the hardwood.”
