Ferrero Acquires Purely Elizabeth For Estimated $850 MillionPurely Elizabeth started with homemade muffins and a $5,000 bet from founder Elizabeth Stein. More than a decade later, the better-for-you food brand has grown to 30,000+ stores and is being acquired by Ferrero for an estimated $850M+.
Stein built the company slowly, waiting years before raising outside capital and expanding from Whole Foods into Target and Walmart. Now, she’ll remain CEO as Purely Elizabeth enters its next chapter under Ferrero.
A founder-led food brand, built without rushing the process.
