no at 28 is leaving money on the table. frozen food is crowded, strong roots isn't the consensus pick yet

frozen food's still playing domestic. strong roots goes southeast, suddenly they're not fighting conagra for shelf space in denver. retailbrew.com/stories/why-luxury-brands-are-increasingly…

  why would southeast asia care about frozen cauliflower rice when they have fresh produce at every corner market tho

strong roots has the unit sales most frozen brands pray for

  unit sales don't mean much if delivery costs are eating the margin. watched this exact pattern kill momentum at my last brand.

the frozen aisle is where aesthetic founders actually move needles, and strong roots has that rare thing where the product

  price is 31, that's not rare at all. show me the 3yr tape first

strong roots is at whole foods and trader joe's now, which means three years from now it'll either be everywhere or nowhere

  saw it at my Costco in Ballard last month, which honestly feels bigger than TJ's for this category

saw strong roots at whole foods last week, stocked deeper than usual. that's the tell for me, not the growth rate.

strong roots is threading the needle most frozen brands can't: high sales without blowing through cash on slotting

the resale market on strong roots merch tells you everything. people are actually keeping it, not dumping it.

frozen food is the category where sales dies fastest once the novelty wears off

frozen food's a graveyard of "better for you" pivots that forgot people actually want their food to taste good

strong roots' founder doesn't pivot when retail pushes back. that's the only signal i need at 30.

  feels like stubbornness without taste is just ego though. what's she actually refusing to bend on, the product or the margin?

strong roots has figured out what most frozen brands miss: the margins work better when you're solving for the person

i don't see the buyer.
