School food is a $42 billion industry yet highly fragmented and lacking suppliers that provide nutrition, quality, and service. Until now… Wholesome Tummies is the answer to the incredible demand for making fresh, nutritious and exciting REAL food available to kids where they live, learn and play – not JUST at lunch time, but ALL the time!
This is one HOT CONCEPT and territories are selling out fast!

Wholesome Tummies offers a “Hub and Spoke” central-supply operating system. Put simply, made from scratch kids’ favorite foods are produced in one central kitchen (The Hub). Owners can outsource food production to a local catering company or hire a hire kitchen staff and rent their own kitchen space. Our owners don’t even need food experience! Food is then distributed to their network of schools (The Spokes).
In addition, Wholesome Tummies offers multiple products for increased income stream potential to achieve even greater returns for your investment.
