While reading about the Sebastian Rametta, the founder of Original SoupMan, plans of expansion which would take the number of their kiosks in America and Canada to 1000, not many of us see this move as anything beyond a sharp business move. After all, people all over America are crazy for lip-smacking soups of Original SoupMan and can never have enough of them. But there is more to it than what meets the eye. Al Yeganeh, the “Soup Nazi” has not only been the inspiration for the entire group for his constant endeavor to take soups to a new level of culinary excellence but also to reach out to those who need help.

Started in 2005, and led by Reggie Jackson, the American icon and Hall of Famer, Al's Foundation donates a portion of every purchase to feeding those in need. They also donate a certain amount every time they open a restaurant. So far, more than 40,000 people have been fed and with expansion plans in pipeline the number is expected to double in no time. Next time you gorge on gourmet soup at the Original SoupMan you can do so with a clear conscious that you are also contributing towards feeding those in need.

While the success of Original SoupMan rests on the core values, namely consistency and quality, the brand is doing more than just serving gourmet soups to the nation.

Finally, in 1994, with the consent of all the partners, Arnie’s was sold to Quaker Oats, helping Seb and his co-founders earn a handsome profit.

Later, Seb Rametta and his partners invested in Ranch*1 Group, Inc, a grilled-chicken franchise company based in New York. This decision was motivated by the fact that increasing health trends and shifts in QSR market were impacting fried foods significantly. Mr Rametta was quick to identify the great recipes, great prices and a loyal customer base of Ranch*, which provided them with the edge needed to dominate the market.

After achieving enormous success with Ranch*1, Seb Rametta was in search of new and better opportunities. So, when he spotted the substantial opportunities that the “Original SoupMan” brand could provide, he entered into a strategic partnership with Al Yeganeh. The partnership, which was initiated in 2004, soon turned into a great success and has resulted in the creation of the present company, which has made a mark in the food service industry not only across America, but worldwide.
