Kangaroo Brands is a spunky little Midwestern family-operated bakery that tries harder, always does its best, strives for consistent quality, offers the best value for the money and will only sell products it is truly proud to put its name on.
Mission and Vision
The Kangaroo mission is: to be the leading bakery in the pita category with continuous improvement, innovation and a commitment to provide quality and safe food to our customers and consumers.
We will have achieved our vision of success, when we are known by people who count on us, our customers, our fellow employees and our family and friends to be more honest, more responsible, more interested, more expectant, more open and enthusiastic, more knowledgeable, more creative and innovative, more successful, more stimulating to be with, and more passionate about what we do and how we do it, than any other group of people they know.
History
Two brothers, John & George Kashou grew up eating pita bread and started a small retail bakery in 1979 to create a better product than what was available. They never imagined that one day, Kangaroo Brands, Inc. would supply more supermarkets than any other brand of pita pocket bread in the United States.
Everyone asks, "Why Kangaroo?" No, we are not Australian and our products are definitely not made from Kangaroos. Our pocket bread has the same unique feature as a kangaroo that sets it apart - a pocket!
It began, and continues, in their hometown of Milwaukee, Wisconsin as a family bakery committed to producing quality pita pocket bread. Kangaroo Brands, Inc. continues to grow and preserve this strong dedication to quality. Now, Kangaroo also produces baked all natural pita chips in a variety of flavors and Pita Naturals Omelet Sandwiches.
Vice President and Owner George Kashou puts it best: "Kangaroo is one of the few remaining family businesses in a food world dominated by giant companies. We like it that way because we can make decisions that reflect our commitment to producing the highest quality and most innovative products in the pita category and beyond.
