ESOP Groceries, bakeries and food
The flavored syrup in half the cafes in the Bay, made by a family company that turned 100 in 2025 and set up an employee stock ownership plan in 2022; an outside investor also holds a minority stake, so this is shared ownership rather than full. Buy in grocery stores or online. Founded 1925 in North Beach.

How it's owned
An employee stock ownership plan: a trust holds company shares for employees, usually as a retirement benefit, with conventional management.
Ownership is recorded by Certified EO from federal filings; the company's own site does not currently say it is employee-owned. Ask them.
