Our Story | Tradition begins at the table
Before any product hit a store shelf, Atour Foods’ journey began with a simple rule from day one:
“The only way to live is freely.”
— Pops and Sonny, 1989
1989 | The Corner Shelf
Dad, our pioneer, began Atour Foods as an international grocery store in one of the most culturally diverse neighborhoods in the nation, Rogers Park, Chicago.
2003 | Mom's Recipe
The most popular product at the store was our homemade cream spread, made from Mom’s recipe. It soon became our flagship product, marking a new chapter for Atour Foods. We transformed from a marketplace into a creamery!
2008 | Atour Foods Inc.
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."
2008 | Growing Together
As Sonny strove to brand Kaymak Spread, it gained a sizable following, and more stores began to ask for it on their shelves or in their restaurants and bakeries.
2012 | Striving Onward
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 they grew the business off of a singular goal: offering quality products to more customers.
2015 | Beyond Breakfast
A green label launched a Salted Kaymak variety, still all natural, next to the original blue label on store shelves.
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.
2017 | A Touch of Honey
Our new flavor hit the shelves — our traditional cream spread infused with Honey.
From the breakfast table to bread, recipes, and desserts, our honey spread was made to be enjoyed in countless ways, bringing something new to the table. With each of our cream spreads, it is our sincerest hope that our family is able to spread happiness to you and yours.
Today | Atour Foods Family
Our family of products keeps growing, and each day we incorporate new products into the Atour Foods family honoring the natural ingredients and homemade recipes that brought us here.
All while keeping the same principle:
“The only way to live is freely.”
