Expanding Into Kansas City, MO
Kansas City is one of the northern-anchor metros we're targeting as we extend our distribution reach out of Plaucheville. It's a large, crawfish-hungry barbecue and foodservice market with no local supply — exactly the kind of far market our fleet and platform are built to serve. We don't run a standing route there yet — restaurants, grocers, and distributors interested in farm-direct crawfish should call and tell us about your volume needs. Demand from an area is exactly how we decide where to run our next route.
Expansion Target Market — No Standing Route YetWhy Kansas City Should Be Our Next Market
- A northern-anchor metro in our hub-and-spoke expansion from Plaucheville, Louisiana

- Same farm-direct product and washed-and-sorted quality standard as our established markets
- Crawfish tail meat — hand-picked, vacuum-packed, and HACCP-certified — available year-round to wholesale accounts nationwide, independent of our live and boiled routes
