These SmartMarkets provide access to nutritious, fresh food 24 hours a day.”

“The idea for Wellfound Foods is simple: if you eat on-the-go, you shouldn’t have to compromise quality for convenience,” said Sarah Frimpong, CEO and Founder, Wellfound Foods. “Our mission is to bring better, healthier grab-and-go snacks and meals to our communities, and this collaboration with Bowery is accomplishing just that. Fresh, delicious greens are the base of this salad recipe, enlivened by fresh peaches and creamy goat cheese. And our smart fridges offer extras like hard-boiled eggs and blackened chicken, for customers who want a protein boost, too.”
Bowery continues to reimagine the fresh food supply chain to be smarter and safer. The company recently launched Spinach, a pesticide-free alternative to one of the “dirty dozen” of pesticide-intensive crops, and Bok Choy, the latest release from Bowery’s Farmer’s Selection line. As the company continues to grow more with less, it has increased its retail footprint by over 19x between 2020 and 2023. Wherever food is needed, Bowery can grow it.
