mealMAKERSSM was founded in 2003 with the idea of bringing families back to the dinner table with quality, home cooked meals - a concept that seemed to be lost in the fast-paced world we live in today.
mealMAKERSSM was the brain child of Craig Hartman who had a need to provide more nutritious meals for his family. They were tired of fast food. Their busy schedule simply did not allow time for good home cooked meals. Craig and his father, Bob Hartman started inviting family and friends to gather on a regular basis to try new recipes and create pre-assembled meals to take home to enjoy. Soon the word spread and more people were wanting to try this new concept. This quickly became over-whelming for the small home kitchen. With that, the first store opened in October of 2003, bringing the St. Louis based franchise to life.
In just two short years, the concept has grown to more than 30 kitchens in multiple states with more opening every month. Though growth has been rapid, mealMAKERSSM remains a family affair. Craig's father Bob Hartman now heads the team with mother Cathy in charge of menu development, and sister Kirsten Parr as the Director of Training. They ensure that each franchise is owned and operated by families with the same dedication to family values and nutritious home cooked meals as you are.
We're bringing the family back to the dinner table, one meal at a time!
