                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. BRITTANY PETTERSEN

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, August 20, 2024

  Ms. PETTERSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Cappello's of 
Arvada, Colorado for winning the Arvada Economic Development 
Association's 2024 Outstanding Small Business Award. Each year, this 
award honors one small business in Arvada that demonstrates excellence 
in innovation, local outreach, and community engagement.
  Ben Frochlichstein and Stacey Marcellus created Cappello's in 2011 
when they noticed a lack of gluten-free products in Colorado grocery 
stores. This led them to create their line of products that emphasize 
simple, fresh ingredients that prioritize the health and well-being of 
their customers with celiac disease and other gluten sensitivities.
  Since then, Cappello's has expanded to grocery store shelves across 
the country, creating a large variety of products, including gluten-
free pizzas, pastas, cookie doughs, and biscuits. Their business has 
allowed people in Colorado and across the country to make and enjoy the 
foods they love with safety and peace of mind.
  On behalf of the people of Colorado's Seventh Congressional District, 
it is my honor to congratulate Cappello's for winning the 2024 
Outstanding Small Business Award and thank them for their contributions 
to the Arvada Community.
