The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Bobo's began in California in 2003 when founder Bob Moore started baking oat bars in a home kitchen. The company makes organic oat snack bars. Their signature product, the Oat Bar, built the brand on simple ingredients and chewy texture. Retailers shelved them nationally by the early 2010s. Today Bobo's operates across North America, selling primarily through conventional and natural channels. The brand sits at #23 in Food, Beverages & Snacks across 21,133 tracked brands. Their bars remain their core business.
