Hale and Hearty Customers Steamed Over Email Newsletter

Poor Hale and Hearty. The New York City soup chain’s team woke up this morning to a PR disaster: someone sent a newsletter containing a certain C-word to all of the company’s email subscribers.

The email begins with an odd reference to the 2008 opening of a Livingston, NJ, location, but it all quickly goes downhill like a volcanic mud slide from there. Gothamist provides the full text (emphasis ours):

“On Wednesday, January 30, 2008 we will celebrate the opening of our Livingston, NJ location by inviting all our loyal Hale and Hearty customers as well as your friends and family to enjoy a free cup of soup at our newest location at 464 West Mount Pleasant Avenue, Livingston, NJ.
