Cleveland Kitchen Co.
Cleveland Kitchen Co. launched in 2014 after founders Drew Anderson, Mac Anderson, and Luke Visnic began fermenting sauerkraut at home. The three Midwestern brothers sold at farmers markets before moving into refrigerated retail aisles. The firm does not disclose external ownership or capital structure (Altss estimate). The company produces a full line of fresh fermented products — sauerkraut, kimchi, pickles, coleslaws, and sauces — all live-culture and cold-chain distributed. Its portfolio includes Classic Sauerkraut, Korean Kimchi, and a recently launched mayo-free coleslaw line. Products are available in over 15,000 stores nationwide, per the firm's 2024 materials. Cleveland Kitchen operates a proprietary fermentation facility in its hometown. Cleveland Kitchen employs an undisclosed number of staff. The company has not publicly disclosed any external investment rounds or professional investors on its cap table. A media contact is listed on the website, and accounting and finance are handled by John Schneeberger. No philanthropic foundation or adjacent vehicles are named. Cleveland Kitchen's structural differentiator is its single-facility, proprietary fermentation environment — a living microbiome that allows it to produce shelf-stable live-culture products at scale, a rarity in the refrigerated fermented foods category. The company remains privately held with no disclosed institutional backers.
