Sharif
The happy accident that lead to the creation of a snack company. In 2018, Sharif Rasheed was looking to create a snack his young son could enjoy. He was not happy with what was on the shelves. He decided to go home and make his own granola bar. Well, luckily the broke into squares. His son Malcolm, devoured them in a heartbeat. Using his entrepreneur spirit he decided to immediately implement them into his juice shop. They were an instant hit. He knew that he may have something on his hands.
