Legendary Foods

Before there was Legendary Foods, there was Quest Nutrition. And before Quest Nutrition, there was Shannan and Ron Penna. Two people who were very serious about health and nutrition, loved food, and weren't willing to make nutritional compromises. In 2009, they found themselves frustrated and dissatisfied with the market of protein bars. At the time, most were made with low-quality ingredients, incorrect nutrition labels, and many with more sugar than candy bars. To make matters worse, every bar felt boring, unoriginal, bland, and tasteless. Fed up with the compromises, Shannan set out to create the perfect protein bar in her own kitchen. After many months of relentlessly testing hundreds of recipes, she finally had a bar made of high-quality ingredients with incredible taste. In addition - this wasn't your ordinary protein bar - her recipes were very high protein and were full of inclusions such as zero-sugar chocolate chunks and almond pieces. What started in a household kitchen grew into the #2 fastest growing business in the Inc. 5000. As founder and CEO of Quest Nutrition from the very start, Ron created a strong company that grew to over $400,000,000 in revenue with about 1,400 team members. Quest manufactured its own products in Los Angeles within its almost 750,000 square feet of production and warehousing facilities. In 2019, the Simply Good Foods Company acquired Quest Nutrition for $1Billion. While this is typically the happy ending to the story...in this case, it's just the beginning. Wanting to take things to the next level, Ron founded and started Legendary Foods – to serve an even greater purpose. Just as Quest Nutrition ended up changing more than just the protein bar space, Legendary Foods is changing the way people eat in many food categories. With a mission to re-build the world's favorite junk food into healthy and delicious options, Legendary takes the snacks we all love and re-imagines them with incredible high protein nutrition. Whether it's delicious baked goods, mouthwatering crunchy chips, or the new products (that you'll see soon) – everything is on the table.
