FOUNDER LED
SINCE 2009
It all started after having one of my wife Paige’s delicious burritos. Years later, we are still committed to crafting delicious food using the highest quality ingredients.
Our Story
2007
Our Namesake Red
After college, our founder Mike spent several years working in the corporate world. In between meetings one day, he decided to stop by a local animal shelter on a whim. The minute Mike walked in, he locked eyes with a lovable, rust-colored mutt and knew that Red the dog was destined to be part of the family — and the next chapter of Mike’s life.
2009
Red’s Is Born
While Mike was in business school out East, he fell in love with his wife Paige’s homemade burritos. One night, he was digging into a comforting burrito when his entrepreneurial spirit told him that this was a meal so perfect and delicious it just had to be shared.

Our First Store
Walter Stewart’s Market in New Canaan, Connecticut, was the first store to carry Red’s. We will forever be thankful for their support!
2017
Our First Manufacturing Facility
As the company — and his family — grew, Mike knew that in order to make the best-tasting burritos possible, he needed to own the manufacturing process so he could make fresh tortillas in-house. Red’s opened its first manufacturing facility in South Dakota.
2019
Club rojo
Mike started Red’s with a simple mission: to cook food better. Club Rojo was our way of taking that mission beyond the frozen aisle—building a community, sharing the love, and rewarding the ones who keep us going. What started as a small idea has transformed into something special and greater than we ever imagined.

Delivering
High-Quality, Premium Food
Mike gave his whole family — including his and Paige’s three young kids — a tour of the brand-new Red’s plant. At that moment, he realized he wasn’t just feeding his kids, but other people’s kids as well.

egg’wich at costco
Mike didn’t set out to reinvent breakfast—but sometimes, the best ideas happen by accident. While chasing the perfect breakfast sandwich, he hit a roadblock: no artisan bread was good enough. So, he got creative and swapped in two egg patties as the “bread.” And just like that, the beloved Egg’Wich was born.

BREAKFAST SANDWICH AT SPROUTS
Breakfast deserved better, period. It was only natural that Mike, a relentless innovator, went all in—reworking, refining, and refusing to settle until he landed on something seriously delicious. The result? Red’s launched the artisan English muffin.
