The Good Bean and Beanitos
The Good Bean, Berkeley, Calif., has acquired Austin, Texas-based Beanitos, maker of better-for-you bean-based chips and puffs.
The expanded portfolio includes 10 Good Bean SKUs and 16 Beanitos SKUs. The brands’ combined annual procurement of sustainably grown and harvested legumes now exceeds 5 million pounds, according to the companies.
“From the beginning, our mission has been to make bean and plant-based snacking accessible, delicious and affordable for everyone, while supporting responsible agriculture,” said Sarah Wallace, founder and CEO of The Good Bean.
Wallace worked with companies including Clif Bar, Kashi, ThinkThin and PopChips before launching The Good Bean in 2010.
