Flackers were originally developed in Minneapolis by a doctor in Minneapolis as a healthy snack for gluten-free patients. After gaining notoriety within the gluten-free community, Flackers made their grocery store debut in 2008 and can now be found in over 3000 stores nationwide. More than decade later, Co-founder and CEO Donn Kelly remains dedicated to crafting nutrient-rich, plant-based snacks that make it easier for everyone to live the healthy lifestyle they deserve. We manage our own manufacturing and are a collaborative member of the rich and thriving food entrepreneurial community in Minnesota.
MISSION: To inspire healthy lifestyles by crafting nutritionally rich snacks using high-quality, plant-based, organic ingredients.
