Founded in 1929, the J.R. Simplot Company is one of the world`s largest agribusiness companies. Headquartered in Boise, Idaho, the privately-held company employs more than 10,000 people worldwide with annual revenues of $6 billion. The company`s integrated portfolio includes phosphate mining, fertilizer manufacturing, farming, ranching, cattle production, food processing, food brands, and other enterprises related to agriculture. The company`s roots go back to 1923, when founder J.R. Simplot left home at the age of 14 to start a one-man farming operation. J.R. was never afraid to embrace new ideas and take on new challenges. His vision set the company on a course grounded in innovation, determined to always seek out new ways of making food plentiful and accessible to everyone. Simplot pioneered advancements in food production – from perfecting the dehydration of vegetables, to helping feed our troops in World War Two, to the development of the frozen french fry. Simplot remains focused on feeding a growing population. The company continues to seek out new ideas and approaches to provide safe and nutritious foods for future generations. Simplot has never lost sight of its farming and ranching roots and the importance of protecting the environment. Sustainability is woven into the very fabric of the company, driving Simplot`s employees to work smarter and seek out new, more efficient and environmentally friendly technologies to improve operations.

A Friendly`s Ice Cream Shop was opened in Springfield, Massachusetts in 1935 by two young brothers, Prestley and Curtis Blake, with money they borrowed from their parents. It didn`t take long for Friendly`s reputation to grow and the number of shops quickly increased. The brothers built a small plant to make and distribute their famous ice cream and toppings. They also introduced classic American foods like Friendly`s Big Beef burgers, SuperMelt Sandwiches and the world-famous Fribble milk shake. Friendly`s reputation is based on quality food and friendly service. We get fresh milk delivered to our ice cream plant daily from local dairy farms to ensure that every scoop is as fresh as homemade. Made with cocoa, sugar and fresh milk, Friendly`s hot fudge recipe has been the same for generations. For over 75 years, Friendly`s has been your neighborhood place to gather with family and friends, tell stories and even joke about the best way to eat an ice cream sundae. We encourage you to "come as you are" bring your children and, as the Blake brothers used to say, "Keep acquainted!" Enjoy our timeless foods today and create more memories that will last a lifetime.
When you grow up in a Greek family, yogurt is just a way of life. We make it at home all the time in small handmade batches. So good. Our love for yogurt even inspires friendly competition to see who does it best. Parents, uncles, grandparents and cousins vie to see who has the right blend of creamy, sweet and tart. Winner holds the bragging rights. For a while. Ellenos Real Greek Yogurt is the yummy outcome of intense competition between members of a slightly yogurt-obsessed family. We make it from the freshest and best ingredients in a time-honored and competition-proven way. It`s our delicious family tradition, and we thought it was time to share.
