SnackNation: Bringing Healthy Brand Name Snacks to Your Office at a Bargain

How many times has a bag of Cheetos or a Snickers bar been your excuse for lunch? Well, SnackNation aims to change all manner of snacking in the workplace for the better. Vending machines begone, as their carefully curated shipments of goodies are delivered straight to your office door. Over and above that, they even donate meals to families in need for every package sent – helping to change the world one box at a time.

SnackNation was started in 2014 by Sean Kelly (CEO) and Andy Mackensen (CMO) with a delectable desire to revamp outdated and unwholesome snacking in company breakrooms. Their goal was to make daytime noshing a healthier and more exciting experience, ergo heightening productivity of employees everywhere. By providing businesses with a diverse, efficient and affordable snack delivery service, they’ve been able to transform worker wellness through newfangled food and beverage choices, and, in turn, have reaped exponential growth, especially within the millennial generation.

“The culture here at SN is 100 percent geared to spreading love and optimism, while promoting good health in general,” explained Andy Varas, Content Manager for SnackNation, to RewardExpert. “Each team member’s growth is supported, both professionally and personally – so we can achieve our vision of delivering healthier snacks to offices throughout the U.S.”

Junk Food Combat

The originators of this Los Angeles-based startup actually began their journey in the vending machine world, which proved challenging in converting companies to switch to healthier dispensing machines. But, this kind of adversity to nutritious habits led them down the right path of enlightenment – sparking the brainchild that became, SnackNation.

“Originally, our founders had started a company called ‘HealthyVending’ that provided healthy vending machines to schools, hospitals and businesses,” clarified Varas. “The purpose, even in the early days, was to combat the junk food that surrounds our everyday life with a healthier alternative. However, they found many obstacles and setbacks when it came to this business model. Then, they had an idea: instead of putting a big vending machine into an office, why not send them the same snacks in a more convenient box? The rest is history.”

This award-winning B2B resource takes personal pride in their high-quality selection of popular yet natural brands of consumer packaged goods (CPG). They offer on trend names like, Deep River Snacks, Clif Bar, Popchips, bark THINS, Harvest Snaps, and many more. And their client list includes such esteemed companies as Uber, Oracle, Disney, and even the NFL Network.
