In this episode, host Mike Miller chats with Marson Foods president and co-owner Jan Marson and chief operating officer Tyler Wallace. The conversation touches on the opening of the company's new $35 million, 150,000-square-foot production facility in Hazelwood and its embrace of automation. Marson also traces the history of the family business, including the decision to sell their former company, Nature's Bakery, to Kind, jumping back into the industry, and why they felt it was important to invest in St. Louis. Listen and follow The BizSTL Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever podcasts are available.
