Leader in Cold-Prep Backpacking Meals, Ready to Scale in Central Texas
Business Description
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a respected and profitable brand in the premium outdoor and adventure food category. Known for its award-winning meals and cult-like following, this company specializes in lightweight, easy-to-prepare gourmet meals enjoyed by backpackers, campers, overlanders, and outdoor enthusiasts nationwide.
The business operates with an efficient, low-labor model by blending shelf-stable ingredients to create proprietary, cold-prep recipes that require no cooking, a major advantage in the backcountry food market. All meals are produced in-house and sold primarily DTC through a high-performing eCommerce website.
Recent investments in packaging and blending automation have increased production capacity by 5x, setting the stage for a new owner to scale rapidly into national retail, wholesale, or private-label channels with minimal new investment.
Highlights:
- Consistent Profitability: 3-year average SDE of $179K+, with over $223K in 2024
- Production Capacity: Upgraded machinery allows for rapid scaling
- Established Brand: National reputation with a loyal, active customer base
- Growth Potential: No current national distribution; untapped wholesale & retail
- Turnkey Operations: Low overhead model with streamlined supply chain
- Flexible Transition: Sellers are willing to assist with recipes, training, and operations
Ideal Buyer:
This business is well-suited for a food industry entrepreneur, eCommerce operator, or strategic acquirer looking to expand into the outdoor or specialty food category. The brand and operations are primed for scale and would benefit from expanded marketing or distribution.
