MIGHTYLICIOUS Gluten Free Launches Capital Raise on Republic to Fuel National Retail Expansion and Supply Chain Integration

MIGHTYLICIOUS Gluten Free, makers of award-winning premium gluten-free baked cookies, brownie mix and flour blends, today announced the launch of a two-month long capital raising campaign on Republic, the online premium investment platform that allows everyday investors to back early-stage companies alongside institutional backers.

 

The round will finance the company's next phase of growth, including expansion into two of the Northeast and Southeast's largest grocery networks, deeper investment in direct-to-consumer sales, and a move toward full vertical integration of its supply chain.

 

Fueling Regional Retail Expansion

A significant portion of the raise will support MIGHTYLICIOUS's push into new retail territory through partnerships with Wakefern Food Corp. and Wegmans Food Markets — two of the most influential grocery networks in the North and Southeast.

The company plans to build out the operations, sales, marketing, and inventory infrastructure needed to support this growth, including additional working capital to meet the demands of a larger retail footprint.

 

Investing in Direct-to-Consumer Growth

Alongside retail expansion, MIGHTYLICIOUS will direct funding toward strengthening its D2C channel, with a focused investment in its Amazon marketplace presence. The company sees e-commerce as a critical complement to brick-and-mortar growth, allowing it to reach gluten-free consumers directly while gathering real-time data on demand and product performance.

 

Vertical Integration to Reduce Costs and Improve Margins

A core use of proceeds will go toward completing the vertical integration of MIGHTYLICIOUS's supply chain — a move designed to reduce cost of goods sold (COGS), improve production consistency, and give the company greater control over quality as it scales.

 

Building Out Leadership

The company also plans to use a portion of the raise to onboard key executives and expand its team, adding the leadership and operational capacity needed to execute on its national growth strategy.

 

"This raise isn't just about growth for growth's sake — it's about building the infrastructure to serve gluten-free consumers at a national scale while protecting our margins and our mission," said Carolyn Haeler, Founder & CEO of MIGHTYLICIOUS Gluten Free.

 

Investors can participate in the MIGHTYLICIOUS Gluten Free campaign now live on the Republic website.
