Founded by Mary Waldner, a woman with Celiac Disease, Mary’s Gone Crackers is a business that specializes in gluten free snack food—crackers, cookies, pretzels, etc.

Alongside the growing fad of eating right and obsessing over organic foods, the store’s increasing popularity is what brings its marketing office to downtown Chico.

Mary’s Gone Crackers makes organic, gluten free, non-GMO, whole grain, vegan, and kosher products and uses the trademark “Conscious Eating.”

The product’s main ingredients are rice, flax, and quinoa—all obtained from great organic sources and all gluten free.

Products can be found online and in the current marketing office at 330 Wall Street.

The store is estimated to open in central downtown Chico in April 2015 and will employ about thirty people.

Mary’s Gone Crackers hopes to attract more customers at its new, more visible downtown location, 418 Broadway, across from the downtown City Plaza and next to Bank of America.
