Business founders, sister and brother, Betsy Maselek and David Poritzky, initially felt their market would primarily be families sending something special to kids in college, sick friends, aged parents, etc. What they didn't anticipate was that it would also appeal to the corporate world - desperately looking for new ways to thank clients for their business or employees for their dedication . . . such as a doctor sending to patients who are on the mend, Human Resources sending to employees-for new babies, long term sickness or sympathy.

The beginnings of GrandmasChickenSoup.com started in early 2003. A former employee of David's came into his restaurant, David's World Famous Eateries and Catering, early one morning, not feeling well. She took a supply of David's chicken soup into work with her. She obviously hadn't heard of penicillin. That got David thinking . . . Several weeks later David and his sister Betsy, sitting around grandmas table, eating chicken soup, heard that their cousin Peter in California had the flu. David and Betsy got to thinking. . . . . "Why don't we freeze it, put it in an insulated box and send it." Three days later, Peter called and announced he was ready to run the Boston Marathon.

With their entrepreneurial curiosity whetted, they went on the internet looking for mail order chicken soup. Would you believe there was none! And that's how it all started.
