Synopsis
Founded in 2014 with just a $1,000 investment, Stone & Skillet was born from the vision of three brothers dedicated to crafting quality English muffins. Their journey began by supplying local eateries but soon flourished as they tapped into the vibrant farmers' market scene.
A $1,000 investment was all Cam, Kyle and Nick Meekins needed to test whether their English muffin idea could become a business.
The brothers put the money toward a mixer and flour in 2014 and started making English muffins in Kyle’s apartment. They delivered the products to restaurants themselves as they worked to build Stone & Skillet.
The business has since grown far beyond those early days. Stone & Skillet recorded its first $100,000 month in its second year and eventually became an eight-figure business, according to Entrepreneur.
