Kodiak Cakes

About

Kodiak Cakes is a prominent food company rooted in the tradition of whole-grain, protein-powered breakfast and snack products. Headquartered in Park City, Utah, the company was built on a mission to inspire healthier eating and more active, outdoor-oriented lifestyles. The brand's origins trace back to a family recipe for flapjack mix that co-founder Joel Clark, as a young boy, sold door-to-door from a red wagon. This early entrepreneurial venture laid the groundwork for what would become a nationally recognized brand. Officially founded in 1995, Kodiak Cakes has since expanded its product line significantly beyond its signature flapjack and waffle mixes to include oatmeal, baking mixes, frozen waffles and pancakes, granola bars, and syrups. The company's philosophy centers on the belief that wholesome, natural foods are essential for fueling an adventurous life. Kodiak Cakes emphasizes the use of 100% whole grains and packs its products with protein, catering to a growing consumer demand for nutritious, convenient, and great-tasting options. This commitment to quality and nutrition has propelled the brand's rapid growth, making it one of the fastest-growing food companies in the United States. After a notable appearance on the television show 'Shark Tank,' which significantly boosted its visibility, the company experienced a dramatic increase in sales and market presence. Now a subsidiary of the private equity firm L Catterton, Kodiak Cakes continues to innovate and expand its reach, all while maintaining its core mission of providing 'Nourishment for Today's Frontier' and encouraging a connection with the outdoors. The company also demonstrates a commitment to conservation, donating a portion of its profits to wildlife foundations dedicated to protecting grizzly bear habitats and preserving wilderness.
