TheBanza journey started in 2013, in a home kitchen in downtown Detroit. A then-23-year-old Brian Rudolph spent late nights, and even earlier mornings, perfecting his recipe for a better pasta.
Brian was no food scientist. And you can ask his roommate - he wasn’t exactly a chef, either. Just a kid who liked to play with his food who held the belief that his favorite dishes ought to be more nutritious.
He wanted to challenge the food industry to innovate on behalf of people like him. So he teamed up with his big brother Scott, and brought that passion to grocery shelves across the country. In a little over a year, we’ve gone from selling in 2 stores to 2,000.
TheBanza team is growing, but their mission is the same: to make the foods you love, love you back. You can find them working out of a rehabbed house in Detroit, and a one-bedroom apartment in Manhattan. Whether selling in the grocery aisles, or cooking up new recipes, they connect over their love of food.
