F’Real Foods was founded in 2003 in Orinda, California, by Jim Ferrell. Ferrell started his company working out of his garage at home. The company produces a specialized type of blender and cups of ingredients to make milkshakes and smoothies.
The company sells its products in more than 10,000 outlets, such as stores, university cafeterias and military bases in the United States and Canada. F’Real Foods quickly outgrew their Orinda facility and moved in 2013 to nearby Emeryville. The company continues to grow by approximately 25 percent each year and expects to hire approximately 25 new employees every year for the next few years.
Ferrell was a former employee of Dreyer’s Ice Cream and he claims that people will choose to buy a milkshake or smoothie over a soda if they can get one easily. As of December 2012, the company is a subsidiary of Rich Products Corporation.
