Ready Strong Meals

What Ready Strong Meals does

Ready Strong Meals is a privately held, direct-to-consumer prepared meal company founded in 2018 and headquartered in Union City, New Jersey. The company produces small-batch, protein-first meals using traceable, free-range, organic, and antibiotic-free ingredients sourced from named suppliers including Goffle Farms (poultry), Bakkafrost (salmon), and Alta Cucina (tomatoes). It maintains a menu of over 40 meal options, adding 2–3 new items each month, with category filters for High Protein, Low Carb, Gluten Free, Pescetarian, and other dietary preferences.

The company operates exclusively in the New Jersey and New York metropolitan area, offering home delivery and free local pickup, and has explicitly declined nationwide shipping to preserve product quality. Its technology stack is a Shopify-based e-commerce storefront with dedicated iOS and Android applications, supporting both subscription and a la carte ordering. Revenue is generated through weekly meal-pack subscriptions (5, 10, and 14 meal tiers) priced with 10–15% discounts on optional add-on meals, individual meal sales at $12.99–$20.99, snacks and merchandise, and digital gift cards.

Ready Strong Meals serves individual health-conscious consumers in NJ & NY seeking convenient, portion-controlled, protein-forward meals for fitness and weight management. The company employs between 1 and 10 people, has no disclosed funding, no parent company, no management team identified in the source data, and no disclosed revenue. Its strategic posture emphasizes regional quality and ingredient traceability over scale.
