Jane Foods Inc.

What Jane Foods Inc. does

Jane Foods Inc. is a family-owned regional food services company headquartered in LaGrange, Georgia, operating under three distinct business lines. The company, founded in 1985 and previously branded as Kimble's Food Services, employs 9 people and serves clients across West Georgia, the South Atlanta Metro area, Columbus (GA), and Auburn (AL). Its operations span micro markets and breakroom services, catering and events, and a packaged consumer product called Ole School Corn Flake Candy.

The micro markets and breakroom services business deploys cashless payment kiosks at client worksites to provide grab-and-go food and beverage options for corporate breakrooms. The catering and events business operates as a preferred vendor at multiple venues, including a National Park site (NOK) secured through Lucinda Freudenberg. The Ole School Corn Flake Candy line extends the company into direct-to-consumer packaged goods via an e-commerce channel. Jane Foods participates in the LaGrange Chamber of Commerce and the Georgia Grown program, anchoring its local and regional identity.

Jane Foods generates revenue through three mechanics: recurring service contracts for micro market installations, event-based catering fees, and direct-to-consumer product sales of its candy line. Its customer base spans corporate breakroom clients, event organizers and venue operators, and retail consumers purchasing candy online. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, or external investment, and is led by second-generation family leadership under President Kimble Carter and VP CJ Carter.
