In 2012, a group of high school friends walked into a community kitchen in Minneapolis with the goal of making a better granola bar. Sick of eating the same old stuff, they developed a recipe with oats and fruit that actually tasted like something they’d want to eat.

STORY
RAISING THE BAR... ON BARS
The gang rents a kitchen and starts making bars on the weekend under the umlaut happy name GüdBar.
Fun facts
- That original flavor is still the basis of our current Apple Almond Cinnamon flavor!
- We used to have a robot mascot named GüdBot that we weren't always nice to.
After finding hungry fans in local co-ops and natural grocery stores, GüdBar becomes Fresh Bar and three new flavors are released. The team begins working two nights a week to keep up with production and Will joins the company full-time.
Also during this time, Wrappy the flow wrapper joined the team — we use and love her to this very day.
Individually sold bars are released and two new nut-free flavors are added. All five founders now work full-time and production space is upgraded to a much larger and dedicated facility for maximum quality and quantity.
When the brand was updated, we staged a fake launch keynote and even had a few strangely familiar super fan camp in front of a grocery store.
Our story continues! With the introduction of the nomi brand, we're proud to share our passion for a fresh and healthy snack with even more people hungry for something better.
