recognized across the country
GUELPH, ON, Oct. 3, 2023 /CNW/ - Crafty Ramen, a Guelph-based brand reimagining the ramen experience through restaurant, grocery retail and ecommerce channels, is thrilled to be named to the Report on Business ranking of Canada's Top Growing Companies for the second consecutive year, placing 156 out of 425 companies listed.
"We've moved so quickly to adapt and grow; this recognition is really a reminder to slow down and reflect on how hard we've worked, how far we've come and all the exciting possibilities ahead," said Khalil Khamis, Crafty Ramen CEO. "From opening our third restaurant location to launching a new frozen ramen product line in grocery stores coast-to-coast, everything we've accomplished is a testament to our inspiring team, and their wholehearted dedication to creativity, care, and the comfort a bowl of ramen can bring."
With restaurants in Guelph, Kitchener and downtown Toronto, Crafty Ramen has been serving delicious, Japanese-inspired food to the community since it was founded by Miki and Jared Ferrall in 2017. After launching their at-home ramen meal kits and online ecommerce platform in 2020, the company has undergone significant growth, expanding their retail sales offerings and physical footprint with the opening of their newest location on Ossington in Toronto – all on the heels of a successful pitch on CBC's Dragons' Den. Now available in stores Canada-wide, their innovative frozen Heat & Eat ramen meals can be found in the aisles of major national grocers, including Sobey's, Rabba, Loblaws and Colemans.
