Eat Happy Kitchen Enters NY Market, Adding Full Clean-Label Pasta Sauce Line to All D’Agostino and Gristedes Locations

Eat Happy Kitchen, one of the fastest-growing women-owned clean-label food brands in the country, today announced new distribution across several major grocery chains, including establishing its retail presence in the New York market.

All 27 D’Agostino and Gristedes New York locations have added the company’s line of Seed Oil Free Certified pasta sauces to their shelves.

The company also announced that its full line of spice blends, packaged in newly redesigned, vintage-style tins, is available on the shelves at all 70 Fresh Thyme Market Midwest locations, joining its pasta sauces already carried by the retailer. Also in the Midwest, Coborn’s has introduced Eat Happy Kitchen pasta sauces across 27 retail locations.

“Eat Happy Kitchen was built on the idea that food should be both clean and taste good, and that you don’t have to sacrifice either quality to be on grocery store shelves,” said Anna Vocino, Founder and CEO, Eat Happy Kitchen. “Breaking into the Manhattan market with our retail partners at D’Agostino and Gristedes, and in the Midwest with our new partners at Coborn’s, isn’t just a milestone for our brand; it’s proof that joy, flavor, and real ingredients resonate everywhere, coast to coast. Our partners at Fresh Thyme Markets are also demonstrating their belief in what we’re doing by welcoming our spice blends to their shelves. This shows that when you lead with purpose and listen to your community, you can scale without compromising who you are.”

In 2024, Eat Happy Kitchen announced that it doubled the distribution of its pasta sauces, which are now stocked in over 1,100 stores, including Kroger banners Ralphs, Fred Meyer, and QFC.

In December 2025, Eat Happy Kitchen expanded into 28 Gelson’s Markets locations across California and 18 Harmons Neighborhood Grocer stores throughout Utah. This reflects continued momentum for the company as it grows its retail presence nationally, making it one of the industry’s fastest-scaling brands.
