Jedediah's

What Jedediah's does

Jedediah's Catering & Concessions is a privately held, full-service catering and concessions operator founded in 1980 as Jedediah's House of Sourdough on Jackson, Wyoming's Town Square. The company is headquartered in Jackson with a secondary location in Aspen, Colorado, and operates with 110 team members across Teton County, Wyoming and the Roaring Fork Valley. Jedediah's delivers a portfolio of occasion-segmented catering services — weddings, private events, residential/in-home, corporate and production-team catering, and private aviation catering at Jackson Hole and Aspen-Pitkin airports — alongside a B2B white-label concessions business serving hotels, lodges, outfitters, and vacation rental companies, plus a wholesale shelf-stable product line. NetJets and the Aspen Music Festival are publicly named customers.

The company's commercial platform is built on a Shopify e-commerce storefront paired with website-based catering intake forms that collect event details, service-style preferences, timing, and budget estimates; pricing is quote-based per event with no publicly disclosed tiers, and retail orders carry a $200 free-shipping threshold. The go-to-market combines enterprise-style direct sales (catering inquiry forms and B2B concession sales) with channel/white-label partnerships and a Shopify retail front. Distribution spans direct event catering, in-flight catering at two regional airports, residential drop-off service, B2B white-label concessions, and a 2026-vintage food truck operation at Spring Creek Ranch. Revenue is generated through professional services fees (per-person catering, event service fees, B2B concession contracts) and a smaller hardware-style wholesale revenue stream for shelf-stable goods.

Ownership rests with three individuals: Rhea Brough (CEO), Mike Gierau (President of the Board), and Jeanette Hodges Tindell (COO and part-owner since 2025). No institutional investment, private equity, or venture capital ownership has been disclosed. After 19 years and 6,975 consecutive days of operation, the company concluded its Jackson Hole Airport retail concession contract in 2025; private aviation catering at that airport continues and remains a core service line. Marketing is primarily organic (Facebook, Instagram) and content-driven (company blog), with no disclosed performance or paid acquisition channels.
