The Really Cool Food Company LLC and Renaissance Food Group LLC have announced a merger.

Renaissance Food Group will lead the sales and marketing team for the combined companies and will use a network of production facilities and distribution centers strategically located across the nation. The merger will combine the talents and proprietary technology of both companies and create a menu utilizing four brands: Garden Highway-Chef Essentials, Really Cool Foods, Garden Highway, and Kitchen 1836. By minimizing food miles with this new distribution network, retailers can offer a variety of fresher choices.

Established in February 2005, The Really Cool Food Co manufactures natural fresh prepared foods. A line of restaurant-quality products offer convenient meals with two brands: Really Cool Foods and RCF Kitchens. For more information, visit www.reallycoolfoods.com.
