Midwest Fresh

Our Story

Midwest Fresh started as a restaurant consulting company by Chef Kevin Grider. Armed with his arsenal of signature sauces and exquisite dish recipes, he was able to achieve several successful restaurant openings and revitalizations'. During his tenure as a consultant, Chef Kevin realized his signature recipes had the potential to be household brand names. He immediately began bottling sauces using real ingredients from Indiana,and selling them to retailers across the state of Indiana.

Within six months, his dream of building his company into a legitimate brand had come to fruition as orders began surge. Stores across the region began filling their shelves with his delicious sauces, and within a year a handful of distributors had helped Midwest Fresh grow to over 300 store locations. Kevin's dream continues today as Midwest Fresh is positioned to become a staple in homes across the Midwest and beyond.
