Steve Grossman, President of Microwave Roasters, is delighted with the strategic partnership. "MRI and Pop N Go both specialize in providing the public with fresh, warm, and healthy snacks. There is a national demand for fresh and healthy snacks and both companies address this demand. As we grow together, our respective products should achieve national and international prominence and the financial backing of Pop N Go will enable us to compete in all channels of trade."
