Stockbox Grocers

Stockbox’s mission is to bring food back into communities – like an old-fashioned corner store, but with a modern twist. Our small format stores are placed throughout urban areas, to offer fresh produce, meal solutions, and grocery staples. We place mainstream staples, alongside organic products, and source produce from local farms when possible. Grab-and-go options in meals and snacks make it easy to shop, with selection changing frequently so there’s always something new to explore. We offer loyalty programs, recipes, and specials. Pricing is affordable – competitive with local grocery stores and below convenience stores. 

LaLa Lunchbox

LaLa Lunchbox is a fun and easy way for kids to plan and pack lunches with their parents. It empowers your kids, teaches them to make smarter food choices and helps them learn about advance planning.
Your kids get to personalize and design their lunchboxes with fun monsters and colors, and then plan their lunches for a whole week at a time. They simply swipe their choices into their lunchbox from a large selection of fruits, vegetables, proteins, and snacks. Along the way, they learn that a balanced lunch includes items from each category. Parents can easily personalize and edit the items available to their kids.

FeelGood

We are a volunteer youth movement of changemakers committed to ending global hunger in our lifetime.
Around the country, we’re raising money for the end of hunger by running FeelGood Grilled Cheese Delis on our college campuses. Every penny we raise—100%—is invested in hunger-ending organizations with a proven track record of success.
And because ending hunger is about raising awareness as well as money, we also use our delis as a point of dialogue. Walk up to order a sandwich and through displays, literature and even the menu board, you’ll see how we transform our delis into a place where people learn about the causes of global hunger, and the hunger-ending strategies that really work.

Coffee Stories was created to spread coffee kindness and create community, to offer a medium for our society to empathize with each other over common pieces -- coffee and stories.
