QUOTE ABOUT COSTCO
“They treat their members with the utmost
respect and always work to sell the highest-quality products at the best prices. It is
easy for us to partner with Costco because
we have similar values here at Kodiak
Cakes. We put our consumers first, work
hard to release only the best products and
always strive to be awesome to work
with.”—Joel Clark, CEO
Clark and national sales director Cameron
Smith turned down. (“I think you guys are
smart,” said host Mark Cuban.)
Also fueling the company’s growth has
been an increased interest in the value of
whole grains. Kodiak Cakes doesn’t just
substitute whole-wheat flour for the
re;ned white variety. Instead, it uses ;;;
percent non-GMO (genetically modi;ed
organism) whole grains and infuses protein into its mixes. The results are apparent on the nutritional labels. For example,
the company’s original mix contains more
than four times the ;ber and nearly twice
the protein contained in mixes made by
competing brands. Kodiak Cakes’ Buttermilk Power Cakes Flapjack and Waffle
Mix—its best-selling product by far—
boasts ;; grams of protein per serving, the
same as a ;-ounce serving of beef.
Over time, the Kodiak Cakes product
line has expanded to include mu;n mixes,
cookie mixes, frozen wa;es, syrups and
more. All align with the company’s mis-
sion to “inspire healthier eating and active
lifestyles with great-tasting products for
today’s frontier.”
What’s next for the company? “We’re
looking for categories where there is a
need for great-tasting whole-grain and
high-protein products,” Clark says. “The
forest is the limit when a Kodiak bear is on
the loose. And it’s a big forest out there!” C
