Founded in 2017 in Clearwater, Florida, Yo Mama’s Foods is a rapidly growing gourmet food company specializing in pasta sauces, condiments, and signature products crafted with the care and quality of a homemade kitchen. What began as a small, entrepreneurial venture in a family kitchen has expanded into a nationally recognized brand, with products now in approximately 28,000 stores across 19 countries, including major retailers such as Costco, Sam’s Club, Walmart, Kroger, and TJX.
Yo Mama’s Foods is driven by a mission to deliver exceptional taste using only ingredients that “mom has in her pantry,” blending culinary authenticity with modern retail excellence. The company combines traditional flavor development with innovative packaging, product design, and consumer engagement strategies to create a premium, accessible brand experience.
Under the leadership of founder David Habib, Yo Mama’s Foods has achieved rapid scale while maintaining profitability and community impact. The company is on track to reach $30 million in revenue in 2025, with ambitious growth plans for international expansion and new product lines.
Beyond business, Yo Mama’s Foods is deeply committed to community engagement. Through partnerships with local organizations such as Feeding Tampa Bay, HEP, and 360 Eats, the company actively combats food scarcity, supports local economic development, and invests in meaningful community initiatives.
Core Values: Quality, Community, Innovation, and “With Love” in every product.
