Jack & Friends

We are LIVE in our first Whole Foods Market location! 🎉 All three Jack & Friends flavors are available in the brand new Whole Foods Daily Shop in Lennox Hill! We couldn't be more excited to be among a curated brand selection in their new format stores, so if you're in NYC, help support us and the Daily Shop by clearing out the shelves at 1175 3rd Ave (especially Jack & Friends' 😉). We are even more thrilled that this is just the beginning—keep an eye out for our jackfruit jerky in ALL of the Whole Foods Northeast stores next month! Special thank you to John Lawson, the entire Whole Foods team, Luis Camino, and Your Brand Your Dream for being the best partners and making all of this happen! #wholefoods #dailyshop #retaillaunch #nyc #foodindustry #retail #cpg #grocery #plantbasedfood

Yes, that is one GIANT check!! 🤑 I’m still reeling from the Naturally New York Pitch Slam where Jack & Friends took home the win for the Audience Choice Award. While the $50k prize package (with $10k of it in cash!) is obviously amazing, the validation from the 200+ audience members that believed in everything we’re building to vote us as the audience choice is truly meaningful. 2024 is the year of Jack & Friends’ growth, and I am so ecstatic that we are able to continue building momentum with this opportunity. We will be releasing some EXCITING announcements very soon, so stay tuned for even more! 👀 HUGE thank you to Naturally New York, Whole Foods Market, and everyone involved for organizing such an amazing event! So grateful for your support of emerging brands. Also shout out to our fellow Pitch Slam finalists—truly an all-star line-up 👏 P.S. Enjoy the last photo of me walking the streets of NYC with the giant check. And yes, people passing by loved it 😂 #pitchcompetition #wholefoods #foodindustry #cpg #womeninbusiness #foodscience #cornell #jackfruit
