CHAGRIN FALLS, OH – March 8, 2022 – Consumers who find themselves reaching for tasty snacks at an alarming rate are not alone. The demand for easy and convenient access to a wide selection of snacks is higher than ever. Studies from Packing Corp and Food Business News show that 90% of consumers snack multiple times per day and 92% replace at least one weekly meal with a snack. This shift is correlated with numerous factors, including deviations from the norm via Millennials and Gen-Zs. However, the severity of the change must be attributed to the after-effects of COVID on various economic sectors, such as the restaurant industry, which experienced the closure of hundreds of thousands of small business restaurants and bakeries due to COVID policies.

These circumstances have caused the demand for high-quality, interesting new tastes to skyrocket. As a result, the snack food industry has become a new area of interest in e-commerce, allowing restaurants to test concept without the overhead of a dining room and for ambitious artisans to start a business from home.

Satisfying Cravings and Serving Small Businesses

The drastic economic shift of the food sector has led to the development of new concepts and startups geared towards small business brands. The hardworking kitchen creatives and businesses that suffered the most from COVID restrictions are now flocking online, able to pursue their dreams through this new channel.

Companies like OhGoody and others have addressed this challenge by building out tools to help empower the small businesses that were negatively impacted in a big way by the after-effects of the pandemic.

Many of these businesses have a story behind them. For example, Herbert’s Wine Jelly, an OhGoody vendor, started in the interest of helping those struggling with mental health problems and those who were formerly incarcerated by providing an employment outlet for ex-convicts to learn valuable working skills and reintegrate back into society. Big Tom’s Jerky, another OhGoody vendor, started their business to honor the memory of a deceased lifelong friend.

In the day and age of social entrepreneurship, companies like OhGoody are doing their part to help exceptional small businesses survive and grow to influence their respective communities in a positive way.

Derek Rymers, the CEO, said, “Small business entrepreneurs have been negatively affected in a big way by the pandemic. OhGoody provides a worldwide platform to show off what they can do.”
