The most popular product at the store was our homemade cream spread, Mom's recipe. Atour Foods transformed from a marketplace into a creamery!
Sonny joined the business as the sales and marketing director, and soon made Atour Foods incorporated. "I was all about improving. That's what a store should be - a launch pad for great ideas." As Sonny strove to brand the product, it gained a sizable following, and more stores began to ask for it on their shelves or in their restaurants and bakeries.
Pops' untimely passing engendered a heightened sense of determination to forge ahead, continuing a legacy. Sonny became president of Atour Foods Inc., and brother Martin a business partner together with a laser sharp focus on quality, modernity, and development. Together they grew the business off of a singular goal of offering the product to more customers.
A green label launched a Salted Kaymak variety, still all natural, next to the original blue label on store shelves. With all of our cream spreads, it is our sincerest hope that our family is able to spread happiness to you and yours. Simultaneously, a not just for breakfast campaign was launched to educate customers on the many versatile ways our cream spread can be used - as a condiment, an ingredient, a side, an appetizer, part of an entrée or dessert.
Our new flavor hit the shelves - our traditional cream spread infused with Honey. With our cream spreads, it is our sincerest hope that our family is able to spread happiness to you and yours.
