Building a Niche Meal Delivery Business with Shark Tank Finalist & Founder of Yumble, Joanna Parker, 06-09-2019

In this episode, we talk to Shark Tank participant Joanna Parker, founder of Yumble, a weekly subscription service that delivers healthy, yummy prepared kids' meals straight to the homes of busy parents. When she became a stay at home mom, and two years later, she was so busy at home she realized how frustrating and stressful it was to prepare, cook, and clean up from her kids dinner every. single. day. Joanna spent 2 years perfecting foods that all kids love - like mac and cheese, pizza, and chicken nuggets - she figured out ways to make them so much healthier and more fun to eat! After opening Yumble up to the public, parents lined up (literally, on a waiting list) to let them solve their mealtime stress forever. Yumble is in over 30 states and has delivered over 1,000,000 healthy meals to kids across America, at https://yumblekids.com/
