Good To-Go Expands Staff & Sales Force to Address Growing Demand

{Kittery, ME} – Since launching the brand in March, Good To-Go has steadily gained momentum and is converting new fans from the over-salted pre-packaged trail food of the past to its dehydrated gourmet meals. With initial efforts focused on its home territory of New England, demand has grown across the U.S. and internationally for this already award-winning brand. 

“The Outdoor Retailer Summer Market Show was just a phenomenal experience for us,” said acclaimed chef and co-founder of Good To-Go, Jennifer Scism. “We won the industry’s most coveted award for our Thai Curry, Backpacker’s Editors’ Choice; teamed up with the respected Jetboil team to cook our meals at the show; and had the opportunity to meet with dozens of buyers and media. We couldn’t have planned a better introduction to the market.” 

With increased demand for product comes the need to build a solid team of sales, marketing, and operations professionals.
