I hope everyone is doing well! We are honored that you are including us in your story, and I feel privileged to report back:

 

“I am happy to let you know that our customer’s response to the Mama Pat’s ramen line is outstanding. Currently we are having trouble keeping up with demand, which is a great compliment to the product itself! The flavors of this line are unique to other products on the market and the fact that this ramen has significantly less sodium than national brands is a huge bonus!

 

In our market where healthy food is not readily available to our consumers, Mama Pat’s is providing a “better for you” ramen that is  competitively priced with national brands. Most people are not aware, but ramen is one of the most sought after consumable items in correctional facilities and Walkenhorst’s is pleased to team up with Mama Pat’s and get this delicious, low sodium ramen to our customers who want healthier options.

 

All of us here at Walkenhorst’s are excited for the future of Mama Pat’s and we fully support Ron’s vision for his company. We are grateful for the opportunity to be the only prison distributor that offers the Mama Pat’s line and we will continue to do our part to help promote the product, and ensure a long term business relationship.”
