DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

Grandma's Pantry, Inc. is a company that relates to everyone from age one and above by way of food and entertainment. Grandma's Pantry, Inc. is built on the motto of bringing food and family together and looking forward to doing just that in the comfort of their own homes.   Grandma's Pantry, Inc. will offer two methods of selling and will start by offering preservative free gourmet food products (requires only 1 to 4 liquid ingredients), prepared sauces, mixes, cooking classes, cake design classes, candy making classes for all age groups along with basic kitchen items needed to prepare such dishes and recipes.

In 2017, Grandma's Pantry, Inc. became FDA registered/licensed to become a larger manufacturer and will add our products in the International market and US grocery stores.  This addition will offer product growth over and above home sales.

In 2018, our goals are to have our gourmet dry food mixes added to Box stores, continue to grow our person-to-person sales internationally, add our Pay It Forward program so that our foods can help others by way of Food Pantries around the US.

MARKETING

There will be several ways to market Grandma's Pantry, Inc. The primary way will be through our Account Managers and their use of verbal, internet, business cards, flyers, attending fairs and events. The corporate office will begin with Social Media, Newsprint, website, various online advertising routes such as WAHM.com, Craigslist, Facebook, and finalize advertising with TV and radio when the advertising budget allows. The marketing is entirely based on initial startup response and drive of those who chose to represent the company.

COMPETITION

Grandma's Pantry, Inc. will share competition with such like companies from a direct sales route/home sales route.  What makes Grandma's Pantry, Inc. different is both the product the approach to the Account Managers and their growth opportunity and the fact that there will not just be food or just kitchen products, but a combination of the two.

Those who will represent Grandma's Pantry, Inc. will not have to grow within the company by recruitment, but grow based on their own hard work, determination and drive. Their growth will be based on their sales with a bonus option available to those who choose to help others join the Grandma's Pantry, Inc. team.

In 2018, there will be a change in how the sales will take place and to whom it is driven too by offering a salary base, plus bonuses.

PERSONNEL

Carla Holcomb, CEO/Owner became interested in creating her own direct selling company by representing many other direct selling companies.  After over 30 years of being a vendor at many other events ranging from women's weekends to craft fairs Carla grew to love working events so much that she became a promoter and based on the experience of both roles has found what people want in not only a career choice, but also as a vendor.

Carla chose the food line due to her passion for food, pleasing peoples pallet and the idea that food brings people together.  Bringing families back to the table is a mission and desire that is very important to Carla.
