About Bear Food

Based in Matthews, NC

Bear Food began as a humble side venture to help cover college expenses—what started as a small hustle quickly grew into a gourmet food company with a remarkable story.

Over the years, Bear Food has experienced incredible growth. What began as a simple effort to sell peanuts out of a college dorm room has evolved into a full-scale gourmet food company, now featured in over 500 stores nationwide. Along the way, we’ve deepened our partnership with Rainbow Express Ministries, strengthened our roots in the city of Matthews, and, with great excitement, opened our very own gourmet food store in November 2022.

Thank you for being part of our journey—we’re grateful for your support and hope you enjoy every bite of Bear Food!
