GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Dec. 05, 2024 – For consumers in Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa who seek healthy foods with a meaningful mission, Grady’s Garden – an innovative food, nutrition, edutainment, and technology company – is expanding its retail reach, now offering its premium pasta sauces at Jewel-Osco stores.
Jewel-Osco now offers Grady’s Garden Chunky Pasta Sauce and Marinara Pasta Sauce varieties at 150 stores. With this expansion, Grady’s Garden now features its signature products in 434 stores across the Midwest, as well as online.
“Partnering with a renowned grocer like Jewel-Osco, with its strong Chicago presence, enables us to reach more health-conscious and socially minded consumers throughout the Midwest,” said Mike Wheeler, co-founder of Grady’s Garden. “Our products not only meet consumers’ need for great taste and nutrition, but they also provide consumers with the opportunity to create new taste experiences and to elevate their current recipes.”
Grady’s Garden pasta sauces are chef-crafted without added sugars, artificial colors, or flavors, making them perfect for health-conscious people who value delicious, wholesome food. By incorporating natural ingredients like carrots and paprika, Grady’s Garden delivers bold, satisfying flavors while avoiding the excessive sugar and sodium found in competing brands. Grady’s Garden also offers a premium line of Mild, Medium, and Hot salsa products.
In addition, consumers who purchase Grady’s Garden products are supporting children. Founded in 2021, Grady’s Garden was established with the belief that fostering healthy habits in children will contribute to future communities that value nutrition, wellbeing, and positive social emotional development. Net proceeds from food sales support Grady’s Classroom, a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to educating elementary-aged children about healthy lifestyles and the importance of growing and eating vegetables through family and community gardening.
“This expansion not only broadens our market presence but also reinforces our commitment to providing clean-label, health-focused ingredients while activating our educational curriculum to help kids eat more vegetables and to lead more active lifestyles,” said Wheeler.
