Healthy Eating Inspiration

These flapjacks remained a family favorite for quite some time until one day, Penny loaded up a little red wagon and sent her son, Joel, out into the neighborhood to sell brown bags of flapjack mix. Penny loaded up a little red wagon and sent her son, Joel, out into the neighborhood to sell brown bags of flapjack mix. Finally, after Jon had modified his mom’s recipe into an “add-water-only” mix, Kodiak Cakes Frontier Flapjack and Waffle Mix  was ready for market. In 1995, Jon’s little brother, Joel, hopped onboard and their team of two hit the streets of nearby ski towns like Park City, Utah; Sun Valley, Idaho; and Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where they sold their mix to local gift shops and stores.

In fact, our roots take us all the way back to the 1980’s when a young Joel Clark packed up a little red wagon to sell his mother’s homemade flapjack mix from door to door. These days we are more than just flapjacks and waffles, offering a variety of products including microwavable Kodiak Cups, Toaster Waffles & Flapjacks, Baking Mixes, Oatmeal, Fruit Syrups, and some exciting new snack options. See just how much we’ve grown since that little red wagon below, and then see if you can guess what’s next for the pancake mix with the bear on the box.

But, in the mid-‘90s, my older brother Jon decided to start a business, and Mom suggested he do it with her pancake recipe. We didn’t know anything about food product sales, so we started selling to gift shops in Salt Lake City, UT, and small mountain towns like Park City, Sun Valley, and Jackson Hole.
