SAN FRANCISCO — Food innovator Hero Bread™, the maker of delicious bread and baked goods with little to no net carbs, 0g sugar, fewer calories and more protein and fiber per serving, is expanding national availability at two new quick-service restaurants, Just Salad and fast casual Freebirds World Burrito, and announcing their retail launch at all Market District stores across three states and Dom’s Kitchen & Market in Chicago, IL. In April 2022, Hero Bread™ started selling directly to consumers on Hero.co, with recent expansion to Walmart.com and Amazon.com, where popularity has quickly skyrocketed, becoming the #1 selling white sandwich bread and the #1 selling hamburger bun on Amazon.
Cole Glass founded Hero Bread™ because of severe food allergies, and his firsthand experience with the frustration of an existence without bread as the catalyst to help make life a little better and happier by evolving the joyful experience of bread and baked goods. Hero Bread™ products have the same look, taste, and texture as traditional bread and baked goods and are a great choice for consumers looking to make better-for-you choices without compromising on taste.
“I started Hero to create delicious bread and baked goods that give people the freedom to eat what they want,” said CEO and Founder of Hero Bread™, Cole Glass, “Launching Hero products in new channels with such reputable restaurant and retail partners aligns perfectly with what we’re hoping to achieve at Hero Bread™, increasing accessibility to our great tasting options for consumers nationwide.”
