The founding of Amy’s Kitchen in 1987 explains the entire concept and philosophy of the business. It is family run and always has been. It was started by Rachel and Andy Berliner while Rachel was pregnant. Andy was searching for wholesome food for his wife. He decided to make his own pot pie. That one dish set the model for the future.
No article about this business would be complete without explaining the origin of the name. When Rachel gave birth to a baby girl, the name Amy was selected. Naturally, when the business needed a name, what better than the owners’ baby. Amy has grown up with the business as it has grown and continues to grow.
Amy’s Kitchen offers a wide variety of foods, having expanded from that one pot pie. Entrees range from burritos, pizza, and soups. An example of their soup is Organic Rustic Italian Vegetable Soup. It is totally gluten and dairy free along with being vegan. For those customers who love vegan, Amy’s is the place to buy your food purchases. The selection seems as if it is endless.
Besides listing all of their foods with pictures and descriptions on their website, Amy’s Kitchen provides a finder tool to locate places that sell their products. Just type in your community and zip code. The nearest outlets will come up.
Of course, you can shop online if you cannot locate your favorite food. Each food sounds so good it would be hard to know what to buy. A person could select a new offering each day for quite a while.
The business is not one to sit on their laurels. They are consistently reaching out to new customers, whether in the United States or internationally. An example was the opening of a very different fast-food restaurant outside of San Francisco. There is no meat on the menu. Just organic food, either vegetarian or vegan, and definitely non-GMO. That is keeping with the family policy of no GMO in any of their foods.
The best is yet to come for the business. They will never, however, deviate from their founding principles.
