You Bar was established in 2006 by Anthony Flynn and his mother Ava Bise after Anthony graduated "from the
University of Southern California with a degree in business administration... After starting the business in their homes and later borrowing commercial kitchen space from thesynagogue that Ms. Bise attends, the duo moved into their own space last summer, not far from the Farmers Market in downtown Los Angeles. (Napoli, The New York Times, 2008)." [ York Times, February 20th, 2008 http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/20/business/businessspecial2/20bars.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=youbars&st=cse&oref=slogin]Product
You Bar is an online service that allows users to choose the ingredients of their customized nutrition bars and name their personal creation. You Bar then makes, packages, and ships a bakers dozen (13 bars) to the customer. "At YouBars.com, you choose a nut or seed butter, add a protein powder, nuts, dried fruits, sweeteners, seasonings, grains, cereals and supplemental infusions. The wrapper is labeled with a name you pick and nutrition information (Rocky Mountain News, May 27, 2008)." [Rocky Mountain News: http://m.rockymountainnews.com/news/2008/May/27/table-talk-may-28/] The service is designed for people with specific dietary requirements (like vegans, those with allergies and athletes) because of the control the customer has over what goes into his/her bar.
