Startup CPG Newswire:
BARIS regional launch in Whole Foods Market!
PRESS RELEASE — NEWS PROVIDED BY Luca Molinari for BARIS
CHICAGO, IL (2025) — BARIS, the frozen chocolate-covered raspberry snack, is officially launching across Whole Foods Market stores in the Midwest — with the support of the Whole Foods Local Forager Program.
Built on a pretty simple idea — real fruit, real chocolate, no shortcuts — BARIS has quickly become a favorite for people looking for something a little better, and a lot more memorable. Every cup is packed with handpicked frozen raspberries from Patagonia, coated in thick, high-quality chocolate. No weird stuff. No overcomplicated ingredients. Just something real that hits right.
“We started BARIS because we wanted to make a snack you’d actually get excited to share,” said Marcos Della Pia, Co-Founder of BARIS. “There’s something special about keeping it simple but doing it really well — that’s what people connect with.”
With the Midwest launch, BARIS will land in 37 Whole Foods stores across Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Missouri. Being part of the Local Forager Program — a platform that champions emerging brands — is a big moment for the small but growing company.
“At the end of the day, we’re making something simple but memorable,” added Luca Molinari, Co-Founder of BARIS. “The kind of thing you grab once, and immediately think, ‘Yeah, I need to tell my friends about this.’”
BARIS is now available in the Frozen Desserts aisle. To find a store near you, visit www.everybaris.com.
