We are building the most innovative grocery store with a focus on doing good.

Bootstrapped to $12 million revenue, 50+ staff, and operations across 3 states with only a team of 3 in the office. This can only be achieved through highly effective systems and people.

Bootstrapped means we’ve gotten here without any funding, forcing us to do more with less, which is what innovation is all about.
