Nick's intro[]
In 1790, just fourteen years after the US declared independence, and barely a year into the effective date of the Constitution, businessman Henry Wood founded his eponymous flour importer, which would notably become New England's first food company.
King Arthur Flour
About a hundred years later, in 1896, anti-British sentiment having cooled and Arthurian legend once again in the zeitgeist via a popular touring musical, Henry Wood & Company rebranded as the King Arthur Baking Company.
Jump forward another hundred years and change, to 2008, when the husband-and-wife team of Scott and Ally Svenson founded a made-to-order pizza place in a city on the opposite coast from New England: Seattle, Washington.
The first of a wave of personal-pizza, fast-casual restaurants that includes two separate chains part-owned by former Miami Heat teammates LeBron James and Dwayne Wade (Blaze and 800 Degrees, respectively), the Svenson's Seattle concept was an instant hit with the Frasier set, featuring customizable, made-to-order pies and boasting of a worker-forward culture with fair pay and benefits.
By 2018, it had expanded across the nation, growing into the country's 15th-largest pizza chain, according to Mitch's homepage, pizzatoday.com. Today, with over 500 locations, the company has ambitious plans to expand to 1000.
But it remains to be seen as to whether the personal-pizza concept will endure as long as the company's exclusive flour supplier, the business founded by Henry Wood, the King Arthur Baking Company.
