Dress It Up Dressing was founded by Sophia Maroon in 2012. Sophia's brother had long held there was a business to be had in the dressing their mother had served every night and that Sophia continued to make for her young family. In an effort to prove him right (or wrong), she began sharing the dressing with friends.† Soon, Sophia was running a little cottage industry delivering salad dressing in her neighborhood. Her customers loved the idea of serving a salad, but as busy people didn't relish the idea of either making dressing every night or resorting to store-bought dressings that were typically filled with sugar, salt, and countless additives.† Good fortune struck when a Whole Foods employee tried Sophia's dressing and said, "We don't sell anything like this, and we should!" He recognized that the salad dressing aisle, while crowded, was not reflective of modern consumer preferences. He placed an order for his one store. Three months later, 14 Whole Foods stores were carrying Dress It Up. Today, Dress It Up is carried in all Whole Foods stores nationwide. Dress It Up has won the most prestigious awards in the food industry and has been honored for its social responsibility and mission. Dress It Up is certified Woman Owned and a certified B-Corp. What began as a dare has given the salad dressing aisle a much needed Glow Up!
