Overview

The Ugly Company makes upcycled dried fruit snacks marketed as all-natural, non-GMO, single-ingredient products. Led by founder and CEO Ben Moore, the company sells in Sprouts nationwide and in select REI, Whole Foods, and Hy-Vee stores. It plans to expand into Kroger banners on the West Coast (Ralph’s, Fred Meyer, QFC, King Soopers, and Fry’s) later this year. Current SKUs include dried cherries, peaches, white nectarines, apricots, and kiwis. The company raised fresh capital to increase processing capacity and accelerate nationwide expansion.
