Our success has transcended every major type of retailer you can find selling nutrition bars:

Bike Stores: It’s hard to believe that Edge Cycle Sports, the premier bike store here in Orange County, was our very first retailer. You can still buy PureFit there today.

Coffee Shops: Our success here makes perfect sense because there is no better breakfast on the go than a cup of coffee and a PureFit bar. Kaylani’s Coffee Shop in San Clemente started selling us in 2002 and yes, you can still buy us there even though the famous coffee shop has been bought and sold several times. Hands down the best cup of coffee you can buy in Southern California.

Health Food Stores: If you have ever been to Orange County and haven’t visited Mother’s Markets, you are truly missing out. They epitomize what a health food store should be. Great prices, knowledgeable staff, and yes, a vegan restaurant in every location!

Gyms: Our proudest achievement has to be our relationship with Pro Sports in Bellevue, WA. Pro Sports is located directly across the street from Microsoft’s campus of 30,000 employees. The gym is as nice as you can build one. Impeccable. Pro Sports is dedicated to improving not only the health of Microsoft employees, but of the locals tell me it’s the best place in town to get your cardio on!

Personal Training Gyms:  You want results?  “The Training Spot” in Huntington Beach delivers them with the best fitness and nutrition tips on the west coast.   They have 2 locations and a massive following of clients getting results.  I’ve heard Carolyn allows a quick water break, but you have to get your PureFit bars after the workout, and only if you gave 100%.

Yoga Studios:  Hands down the beautiful yoga studio I have ever seen.  Jeff, I appreciate all of the support and placing all five of our boxes right near the register so every student knows we meet your high standards that are exemplified throughout the studio.  We love being part of your success.

Chiropractors: I’ll let this testimonial speak for me:

“When I started Performance Chiropractic I had only one goal in mind; provide the best chiropractic care and state of the art treatment procedures. I’ve succeeded at that and when the time came to grow my business, and compliment our services with the best supplements available, we did that too. PureFit nutrition bars have been an excellent compliment to my practice. They meet my strict quality standards, accommodate my patient’s unique dietary needs, and offer the margins we need to properly support the product. The patients like the convenience, we also offer them to our patients that have missed meals.  Additionally, they provide a great introduction into a nutrition discussion.  Many of our patients have hypoglycemia, gluten intolerance and other nutritional challenges.  We only offer quality nutritional products and PureFit compliments our other lines.  Working with PureFit has been great and we look forward to continuing to bring best our Orange County patients.

Online: From Amazon to Drugstore.com, finding PureFit has never been easier.

Grocery Stores: If you live in Chicago, I’m sure you’ve bought us at Jewel-Osco. If you are local, grab us up at Albertsons. If you in the mid-west, any Hy-Vee’s can accommodate all of your PureFit needs. If you are in Texas, check us out at H-E-B. The list goes on and on, but hopefully some day PureFit will be a staple in every grocery store in the US and Canada.

Speaking of Canada, our distributor, Puresource, is the best. You guys rock! Thank you for your professionalism, support, and believing in us.  Here in the US, there are too many to name them all: Garden Spot, Super Natural, SOMA, Perfect Nutrition, Europa, Advantis, Nature’s Best, UNFI, and Performance Food Centers

Doctors Offices: Another partnership that I am very proud of is our relationship with Cenegenics.  Cenegenics offices and affiliates all over the United States sell and promote PureFit. They are the leader in age management medicine. We can’t thank them enough for their generosity.

A special thanks goes out to all the nutritionists that have supported us. You know who you are and I can’t list everyone but I’m talking about you Dr. Bari Rooney and you Kim Mueller, Thanks!

Last but not least, there is a reason we have taken Hollywood by storm. Hollywood’s Premier Fitness Expert Dan Isaacson has turned PureFit onto the biggest stars in Hollywood. Dan, just between you and me, you’re funnier than Billy Crystal.

There are many more success stories and way too many people to thank in a blog.  I simply wanted you all to know that despite the odds and the challenges, a little company with a great product can outsell a large company with with a crappy product.

Because of the economic crunch, many national grocery store chains are being forced to scale back their inventory and product offerings, and the nutrition bar category — which is packed with a bunch of candy bars posing as nutrition bars — is feeling the crunch.

Kroger, which offers PureFit Nutrition Bars in nearly 1,000 stores nationwide, is hands down the largest and most popular retail partner we have. Because our bars are offered in so many of their locations throughout the U.S., we need your help in communicating to Kroger just how important it is to you — our loyal customers — to be able to find our bars in your local market.

The next time you visit a Kroger store, please be sure to tell the store manager that you want Kroger to continue to carry the award-winning and all-natural line of PureFit Bars. Similarly, you can send Kroger a message about this online by clicking here.

Thank you in advance for your continued support our bars. Great things are in store for 2010, and with your help, you’ll soon see what that is at your local Kroger store!

Sincerely,

Robb Dorf, Founder & CEO
