RoadRunner, which is backed by American Pacific Group, has acquired JoJé Bars, a maker of energy bars. No financial terms were disclosed. In addition to the funding, Jess Cera will become vice president of product and community developer for RoadRunner.
PRESS RELEASE
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (March 17, 2021) – RoadRunner Holdings LLC announced today that it has acquired JoJé Bar, energy bars baked with real-food ingredients for a balanced lifestyle. RoadRunner was established in 2020 by American Pacific Group (APG) and JoJé Bars is RoadRunner’s second brand acquisition in the high potential sports nutrition space. RoadRunner purchased the electrolyte replenishment supplement company, SaltStick, in April 2020.
JoJé Bar was founded in 2016 by Jess Cerra, a professional chef and gravel cyclist, with the mission to create a line of energy bars that strikes the perfect balance of taste and nutrition. JoJé Bar quickly grew in popularity from being sold behind the counter at local bike shops to being sold nationwide at REI stores. Jess Cerra will become Vice President of Product and Community Development for RoadRunner, working alongside RoadRunner Holdings CEO Mac Tillman.
“Throughout my career, I’ve been committed to products that can help achieve a balanced lifestyle and that’s what led me to create JoJé Bar,” said Jess Cerra, Founder and CEO of JoJé Bar. “I’m confident that RoadRunner is uniquely well positioned to propel the JoJé brand forward and bring the bars to a wider audience.”
“From both a product and brand values standpoint, JoJé and Jess are a perfect fit for us at RoadRunner,” said Mac Tillman, CEO of RoadRunner Holdings. “We are excited to add another impressive sports nutrition brand to our portfolio.”
