Mitten Crate Filling Boxes With Michigan Pride

Wednesday, August 1, 2018

100% Michigan-made food products delivered right to your door.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Small Business Corner presents Michigan’s most fascinating small business owners. Each week, we’ll share stories of impressive success, overcoming the odds, and how people have taken their dream and transformed it into a thriving enterprise. We hope you will find these profiles to be engaging and inspiring. And, please, keep coming back to learn how these stories offer insight into growing and running a thriving small business.

No traffic. No waiting in line. No loading your kids in the car. Just 100% Michigan-made food products delivered right to your door. This scenario might seem too good to be true, but that’s exactly what you get when you subscribe to monthly deliveries from Mitten Crate.

Founded by Cory Wright and Andrew Chmielewski, Mitten Crate’s goal is to help people experience Michigan-made products in the most efficient way possible. From jams and jellies to pasta and popcorn, you never know what goodies you’ll find when you open your Mitten Crate.

Part of Mitten Crate’s success is owed to the proud Michiganders they do business with. The company has cultivated relationships with a variety of Michigan business owners, and Cory and Andrew say there’s no better place to do business than in Michigan.

While looking for a way to give back to the community they call home, Cory and Andrew recognized an opportunity to help feed those in need. That’s why for every Mitten Crate sold, a meal is donated to their local food bank.

Watch to learn how Cory and Andrew created their company and continue to thrive in Michigan.
