Tosi - Stefanie and Chelsea Hults

From the very beginning, Tosi set out to solve a simple but powerful problem: how do we stay on the path to wellness when the world is full of snacks that derail us? The answer: create clean, crunchy, real food that actually fuels your life, not distracts from it. This week on Startup to Storefront, we sit down with the founders of Tosi, the brand behind the plant-powered bars made with simple, organic ingredients and none of the junk. We unpack how they turned personal observations about health and nutrition into a full-blown movement that’s now stocked everywhere from your local health shop to major retailers like Peet’s Coffee and Costco. At its core, Tosi is about trust, trusting what’s in your food, trusting your body, and trusting that doing the right thing (even when it’s not flashy) pays off. 💡

On this week’s episode, you’ll learn:

– How a pair of flashy shoes and a handful of cashews led to a chance encounter at Pavilions -and ultimately landed Tosi in Peet’s Coffee nationwide 

– What really happens behind the scenes at a Costco roadshow, and why in-person connection with customers is still one of the brand’s most powerful growth tools

– How to bounce back from life's humbling moments, overcome embarrassment, and reclaim your strength through purpose-driven work 

Plus: we’re teaming up with Tosi for a delicious giveaway. The announcement drops Wednesday, so make sure you’re following along. Because it’s not too good to be true. It’s simply too good.
