Mr. Greens Produce was founded in 2003; In August 2011 it was purchased by Peter Politis with six employees and four vehicles in a rented 3000 sq. ft. facility in Allapattah. In 2012, the firm expanded to its own 14,000 sq. ft. facility near the produce market on NW 22nd Street. Mr. Greens Produce has been a big contributor of employment in Allapattah as its philosophy has been to hire local residents as well as military veterans. The staff grew during its first year under new ownership to 24 employees and 11 vehicles. In 2015, the firm moved into its own 65,000 sq. ft. facility on six acres in Liberty City. Mr. Greens has grown to over 180 employees, 52 refrigerated trucks and 16 refrigerated vans.

Founded in late 2006 by Mary Schulman and her mother, Snikiddy® creates products for families actively looking for healthier foods that satisfy their snack cravings. The Snikiddy brand is a portfolio of better for you snacks that are simple, wholesome real products for families. So dig in, it’s all good. Where did the name come from? Snikiddy® is a shortened (and let’s face it, easier to say) form of the word persnickety, which means choosy or picky. Growing up, Janet (Mary’s mom) and her siblings were known around school as the Snikiddy kids (a badge they wore proudly) because they always ate healthy lunches. Their mom (Grandma), ahead of her time with her passion for good health, would pack their lunch boxes full of locally grown produce and very simple foods. A teacher once referred to them as being persnickety and the kids’ version of the word (snikiddy) stuck.

Three Twins was born in San Rafael, California in 2005 when Founding Twin Neal Gottlieb set out to craft delicious, affordable and accessible ice cream exclusively using incredible organic ingredients. Before writing the business plan for Three Twins Ice Cream, Founding Twin Neal Gottlieb was sharing an apartment with his twin brother, Carl, and Carl`s wife, Liz, who is also a twin. The trio dubbed their apartment “Three Twins” and when it came time to start the company, Neal knew just what to call it. Though it`s been a pretty great ride for more than a decade, that doesn`t mean there haven`t been some bumps along the way: landlords too nervous to take a chance on an ice cream entrepreneur with little money and limited experience, 90-hour weeks making and selling scoops and trying to keep a business afloat, cold, rainy winters (remember those?) with dismal sales.
