Startup Elavi doubles down on high protein brownies – and retail notices

Elavi's Strategic Shift in Focus

Better-for-you snack startup Elavi has experienced rapid growth since its inception in 2022, expanding from direct-to-consumer (DTC) sales to major retailers like Costco and Whole Foods in Southern California.

Despite this success, Elavi has made the counterintuitive decision to revert to DTC sales, pulling its cashew butters from retail shelves to focus on a new product: high-protein brownies.

This strategic move allows the company to concentrate on its brownies, which have garnered attention from both consumers and large retailers, potentially leading to broader appeal and further growth.

By transitioning its focus to the high-protein brownies, Elavi aims to ensure that its retail placement is backed by data and strong relationships with buyers.
