Company description

Company Overview

In 1996, Kim Malek had a dream of opening her own ice cream shop. She held on to this dream while continuing to work for several Fortune 500 companies where she learned the value of building a business model around compassion, transparency and putting people first. In 2011, she and her cousin Tyler fortuitously realized they were on similar paths and decided to make the dream a reality. Overnight, Tyler moved from Seattle to Portland to join Kim as head ice cream maker. Kim cashed out her 401K and signed a lease for their first shop and started serving scoops out of a custom push cart while waiting for construction to be completed. Kim scooped by day and Tyler scooped by night, showcasing creative regional flavors from locally sourced ingredients. It wasn’t long before they were reviewed by the Wall Street Journal, expanded to national distribution, and were featured as one of Oprah’s Favorite Things.
 

Today, Salt and Straw has 18 locations across six different cities, including the exciting Disneyland Resort scoop shop that opened in October 2018. They continue to only make small-batch, handmade, ice cream, confections and baked goods at one of two facilities in Portland, OR, or Los Angeles, CA. They only use all-natural dairy and the best local, sustainable and organic ingredients that Oregon has to offer, as well import flavors from small farms and producers around the world. They are proud to incorporate a cast of local chefs, cheese-mongers, chocolatiers, brewers, coffee roasters and more to make ice cream that is unique to each city they inhabit.

Company Culture

Salt & Straw developed their business model around generosity and putting people first. They believe treating people fairly is at the root of all decision making and have a commitment to creating a safe and inclusive environment where individuality and personal philosophies are valued and encouraged.

All new employees attend Salt & Straw University, a quarterly leadership summit and four-day onboarding training, where they learn about the organization’s commitment to legendary hospitality and the importance of finding ways to pleasantly surprise customers and one another. They share a dedication to making unbelievable ice cream and have high levels of caring and compassion. Focused on getting things right not just getting things done fast, Salt & Straw embraces a feedback driven culture and holds each other accountable to equal standards of uncompromising service.
