HUNGRY SQUIRREL LLC ALIGNS WITH KeHE EXPANDING NORTH AMERICAN GROCERY AND RETAIL DISTRIBUTION
SAN DIEGO, CA, June 09, 2022 – Gourmet food sauce and dressing maker, Hungry Squirrel, LLC ("Hungry Squirrel") announced that it is growing its North American grocery and retail expansion efforts by aligning with U.S. wholesale food distributor, KeHE. Hungry Squirrel also became a member of a select group of companies to join the prestigious KeHE elevate™ program.
The KeHE elevate™ program provides emerging brands with added market visibility through mentoring, education, sales and marketing support, promotional support, and networking opportunities in the competitive grocery industry.
Hungry Squirrel President and Founder, Sandra DiCicco, states, “As a woman-owned business, we are delighted to have been accepted by the KeHE elevate™ program. Being a member of this special group will allow us to further expand our presence around the world, adding to a growing list of countries that already includes Dubai, Israel, and the UK.”
The growing popularity and demand for Hungry Squirrel's award-winning, all-natural gourmet sauces and dressings stems from its ability to meet lifestyle and dietary requirements with flavorful options in keto-friendly, low-calorie, gluten-free, and reduced sugar categories.
Hungry Squirrel's manufacturing recently scaled to include a centralized U.S. facility in Texas, and its online presence includes Walmart.com, UNFI Community Market Place, Alibaba, and Amazon. The Company's products are also available in San Diego grocery stores and at the many locations of the Grand Restaurant Group.
With KeHE as its North American grocery and retail expansion partner, Hungry Squirrel will increase its presence at industry trade shows and events that bring early-stage brands to the forefront for retailers to add to their shelves and for consumers to discover.
The brand’s next stop will be the Specialty Food Association’s Fancy Food Show in New York City later this month, where it will showcase its assortment of industry-leading products.

ABOUT HUNGRY SQUIRREL, LLC
Bridging the gap between taste and nutrition, the Hungry Squirrel full line of sauces fits almost any diet. Entrepreneur, and owner of the GRG restaurant group, Sandra DiCicco, developed the original Hungry Squirrel recipes to give her son a better life. Sandra's son suffers from Type- 1 diabetes, and Sandra herself has Type- 2. Diabetes is a condition that affects over 34 million Americans. Due to this disease, Sandra and her son adhere to dietary restrictions like all other diabetics. Such restrictions limit many from enjoying certain foods.
Working with renowned food scientists, DiCicco combined family-inspired recipes, creating the Hungry Squirrel brand and product line without all the unhealthy additives common in name brand sauces. Hungry Squirrel's award-winning, all-natural sauces and dressings are keto-friendly, low-calorie, gluten-free, and reduced sugar options.
