Husband and wife team Danielle and Jason Weedon founded Gourmet Gorilla in 2009 with the desire to bring healthier meals to Chicago-area schools. Today, with a staff of 64, the company provides more than 90 K- 12 schools with over 10,000 meals each day. Nearly half of Gourmet Gorilla’s business comes from schools in low-income districts. The company also provides educational resources on fresh, healthy, sustainable food, garden projects, and ecological awareness to schools.
