## Resource

In this episode, we take it back to the beginning of Mandy’s, from a small local salad shop to one of Canada’s fastest-growing food brands. We talk about growth, staying true to quality, sourcing local ingredients, and what it really takes to scale a food business without losing its identity. We also dive into ingredient decisions behind the scenes, including the shift from canola oil to olive oil, and how making thoughtful choices like these plays a role in building a brand that lasts.
