Former Chef With A Passion For Paleo Launches Successful Baked Goods Company

An entrepreneur who grew up dreaming of becoming a chef – he actually worked as one in California and New York – eventually lost interest in that career and launched a bakery in Arizona that specializes in paleo and gluten-, grain-, soy- and dairy-free bread products. Michael Tierney’s company (“Mikey’s Muffins”) launched in 2014 with one product, an English muffin, and has expanded since then to ten, including muffin tops, sandwich bread, and tortillas, with more on the way. Company growth has been “exponential,” and his products can be found in 8,000 retail locations in the U.S., including Whole Foods Market, Sprouts, Bashas', and Walmart. The mission is to use premium, recognizable ingredients to create nutritionally-dense baked goods following paleo diet principles.. [Image Credit: ©   Mikey's Muffins ]
