Shopify just sent us our 10k orders trophy.
I still remember the feeling of seeing our first order come in. I think every entrepreneur remembers their first sale.
We advertised in our local newspaper in hopes that our neighbors would want to buy Boostcous. The idea was we'd save on shipping costs by having everyone pick up orders from my garage.
And in those early days, we had no idea if anyone would want a "good for you" couscous.
Boy were we surprised.
Over 200 orders started pouring in after the first newspaper article went out.
And we learned so much from those early customers because we got to talk to them face to face:
The business has changed a ton since those early days.
We now have a warehouse and ship out over 200 orders per day.
We're on Amazon, just launched at our first retail store (Raley's) and have some big plans for the coming months:
But at its core we're still on the same mission: remove the barriers between you and a healthier meal, making the healthy choice the easy choice.
We'll always use real, whole food ingredients and make something we'd be ok feeding our own kids.
From 200 neighbors picking up boxes from my garage to 10,000 orders shipped across the country. The trophy sits on the shelf, but the work continues.
We're still making protein couscous the same way we started, just at a much bigger scale now.
Next up, 100k orders.
