Since its launch, Nude Foods Market has saved over a million pieces of packaging from entering landfills and achieved over $5 million in lifetime sales, demonstrating scalability and strong customer loyalty.

The funds raised will be used to expand operations, open additional locations, and enhance distribution efficiencies through a central hub. With two locations already operating and an ecommerce platform in place, the company aims to meet the increasing demand for sustainable grocery options. Backed by an experienced team with deep roots in food retail and sustainability, Nude Foods Market is poised to capitalize on the zero-waste trend while offering a profitable, environmentally conscious alternative to traditional grocery chains.
