"Originally a Pike Place–based touring company, Savor Seattle shifted during the pandemic to curating food boxes featuring products from local vendors and restaurants, selling more than 20,000 boxes in 2020 and donating over $100,000 to nonprofits; not set up to sustain the boxes long term, the 13-year-old company (with six employees) agreed to be acquired by Homegrown, with CEO Angela Shen set to receive royalties over the coming years, step back into an advisory role, and confirm that the touring aspect of the business will not return." - Gabe Guarente
