Behind the scenes of the Mana team!
As we reflect on our past 40 years of business we find so much joy in celebrating the team that makes it all happen. When we started to put together a photo collection of our team it was remarkable to note how many second generation employees we have, how many people have been with us for decades, and how many employees have been shopping at Mana since the beginning! The following is a collection of some of the highlights. Cheers to the best team there is and 40 years of making it happen!
How a pipe-dream becomes a soulful reality & 40years of business ... A deeply personal interview with Ed Thielk, the founder of Mana Foods

“At the end of the day you need to ask yourself where is your life going? What do you want, and what do you need to make that happen?” -Ed Thielk
Mana Foods opened in 1983 and “back then it was this half-ass, half-renovated building that I rented for $160 per month.” -Thielk
Located in the same place Mana Foods is today, the initial space measured a mere 400-sq-ft, boasted a worn out cement floor, and an awkward accordion door. It lacked basic organization and aesthetic appeal, and seemed to have all odds against its survival. But, as irony would have it, this was the start of something very big.
