Help Us Open #KromahFIT Store

 

 

Who are we?

 

We are #KromahFIT Meals, a small black-owned family-run business founded in 2017 and located in Lanham, MD. We currently operate as a healthy meal prep company that services about 50-60 customers weekly and truly believe in using food as medicine to reduce the risk and incidences of chronic diseases in community. We are focused on providing a fresh, custom, affordable and tasty menu that is filled with the nutrients you need to live a healthier lifestyle.

 

Our Purpose of the Campaign

 

After keeping our customers healthy every week for the past 3 years (gasp!), we are finally ready for a brick and mortar storefront to service more amazing customers and increase our footprint in our community, but we need your help getting us across the finish line. Let us introduce you to the future #KromahFIT Meal Prep Cafe, which will be the first black-owned, one-of-a-kind operation in the DMV. A storefront will now allow us to service more customers daily from 10am-4pm. One of the biggest benefits from an operation perspective is to offer custom healthy meal options that customers will be able to put together themselves on our app and pick up within 30 minutes. We will also be adding fresh pressed juices, smoothies and fresh fruit daily.

 

Our Risk & Challenges

 

Our biggest challenge will be the buildout of the space, which is a complete shell at the moment. We do have some funds on standby, but not enough to bring our idea to life. Total cost of a full buildout will be $65K, with $25K of it going to towards certified equipment, $20K towards structural buildout, $10K towards staffing and technology(App) necessary to service out wonderful customers seamlessly, $5K towards signage and marketing material.

 

Currently, we are in talks with about having our store located in District Heights, MD which we will sublease. It takes a lot of planning, people-power...and money. We will use these funds to create an inviting space where our customers can enjoy an expanded line of products including a wide range of options to customize your meals, macronutrient tracker ordering system, man power for you to order and pick up your meals all in 30 minutes.
