YouBar

In 1998, Bise and Flynn started making nutrition bars at home using organic ingredients and recipes obtained by from swapping. They launched their product by wrapping the bars in wax paper and distributing them to friends. In 2006, after Flynn graduated from the University of Southern California with a degree in business administration, they expanded it into a custom bar company. It continued to operate from their home kitchen, and then borrowed commercial kitchen space from Bise's synagogue. Shortly after, they moved into their own space, an 800 square-foot commercial kitchen on Beverly BoulevardBeverly Boulevard in Los Angeles, and in 2011, expanded into their current 8,000-square-foot facility in Downtown Los Angeles.
