In 1977, a butcher and artisan named Celestino “Charlie” Mirarchi started making jerky. Charlie was definitely a doer. In fact, he was so busy making jerky that he couldn`t devote much time to selling it. So, his snacks remained a hidden gem—until Eugene and Susan Kang discovered it at a roadside stand on a trip to the Grand Canyon. They loved the jerky so much they decided to track down the maker. Soon, the trio went into business together—with a mission to share their meaty secret with the world.
Vessel offers everything from mobile canning and design services to printed cans and pressure sensitive labeling to our customers We`ve grown into a one stop shop, which means we`re doing everything from prepping the canning line at dawn to running the labeling lines at dusk. We are owned and run completely independently by four friends, our founders. Since the beginning, they`ve been hands-on with every part of the business. There`s now a big team of us spread across the country that keeps the cogs turning and the beverages flowing.
We are an internally managed real estate company that owns and seeks to acquire high-quality primary row crop farmland located in the US.
It is my great pleasure to share that Chartwells has re-positioned its brand for a new generation and beyond. This new identity was built upon understanding our new audience, Generation Z, which has replaced Millennials on college campuses. With its extreme affinity for technology, Generation Z is described by thought leaders as `over-connected, yet under-related`. Research suggests that brands promoting high-intensity relationships will be the key to preparing Gen Z students for the future. Our dining programs bring students together and serve as centers of academic life on the campuses we serve. Our investment creates social spaces. Our cuisine nourishes and inspires. If college is about sharing big ideas and discovering new people, then Chartwells is the center of a vibrant academic life. We`re chefs, interaction facilitators and food enthusiasts with a knack for drawing people together. Through our cuisine, community, talent, global resources and flexibility, we have the power to nourish and inspire. Our new mission is to be the place where hungry minds gather.
