Can I just say how annoying this is!? Protein, protein, protein - it’s currently a broken record. I hate it. You probably hate it. My kids especially hate it.

But I’m sorry to inform you… it does in fact help you feel better. I have learned and relearned this lesson over and over again. If I want my body and my BRAIN to work, I have to eat protein. And generally, it’s easy for me in a prep kitchen full of meals on repeat.

But it can be easy for YOU too! Our power pack line allows you to pull a macro balanced meal from the freezer, heat, and eat in under three minutes. Comment POWER and I’ll send you all the options we have available now!

Everyone has a "tomorrow" list...

Ours just happens to include things like deep cleaning, mountains of dishes, and cracking 600 eggs. 😅

It’s funny what you ask for when you don’t know you’re asking for it.

I remember walking into Sugar Pop - a The Purple Wagon business in the West End Shops three years ago.

Karlee and I had connected on Instagram, and I finally got to meet her in person. Apparently, I must have said something about opening a retail shop in the future, but I can assure you it definitely wasn’t on my radar at the time.

Fast forward to today and that shop where Sugar Pop was located? Well. It’s actually the same little shop we opened Chilled Market: West End in.

I just got goosebumps typing that.

A year ago, retail was not in the plans for Chilled. I never wanted a storefront. Managing the inventory and staff hours felt too overwhelming and we had a good thing going with delivery and shipment.

Looking back now, I see the little nudges toward these shops that we’re now calling Chilled Markets - that interaction with Karlee in Sugar Pop, a note in my phone of brands I wanted to figure out how to sell through Chilled, side chats with my business friends about the “maybe someday” plans.

And now, here we are! Two dreamy locations and a brand new vision for what Chilled can become. Embracing the risk can feel big and scary when you’re a business owner.

But living the dream? Wow. It’s so worth it.

You know those moments where a plan sounds great until you’re halfway through it? Today’s moment was moving the freezer into the West End location. 😂

A huge thank you to everyone who helped get it from Point A to Point B (and eventually through the door). One step closer to opening our doors in the West End on Wednesday.

I recently joined Nicole from Moncks Homegrown for a little tour of Rockdale Locker. We had a great conversation with Heather and her team about how we can best utilize the whole animal at a price that works well for us (and you!)

Partnerships like this reinforce why we love to source ingredients locally. When we can get the cuts exactly how we like them and at a more affordable cost, we're able to save time in the kitchen and save you money on your order.

And because we know the producers in real life, we can also trust that they are providing us a quality product that tastes delicious! When we support local, everyone wins!
