Happy Trails’ journey to success is one of passion, creativity, dedication, and perseverance. Tom won his first State Championship in Utah. He then started Happy Trails Chili company with his family, sealing the then cellophane bags with… A curling iron! Genius. This went on for some time as Happy Trails chili mix gained traction and became a hot household commodity. After taking a short hiatus, Tom went back at the business full-force 6 years ago. His efforts did not go unwarranted; he won the world championship in 2010 and took home the $25,000 prize money. A world-class chili brand was born.
From curling iron sealing to deals with Whole Foods and Kroger, this is quite the success story. So, where did Stand Up Pouches come into play? Well, after deemed world champion of chili, Tom knew the publicity would increase his sales and demand. He needed his seasoning packaging supplier to be trustworthy. A few things that were important to Tom when he was looking for a seasoning packaging supplier:
A quick internet search led Tom to Stand Up Pouches. Shortly after contact, Project Manager Tammi Olle met Tom in Columbus and it was history from there! At Stand Up Pouches, we are not only proud to do business with Tom, but are raving fans of his product and the mission of Happy Trails.
