Kozy shack rice pudding Biography
Vincent Gruppuso (October 25, 1940 – December 29, 2007) was an American businessman and former deliveryman, who created and founded Kozy Shack Enterprises, a multimillion-dollar company known for its puddings.
Gruppuso continued to work as a bread deliveryman in Brooklyn during the 1960s. He discovered the Cozy Shack delicatessen on Seneca Avenue in Brooklyn, which happened to be one of his delivery stops. He soon began selling trays of the puddings from the Cozy Shack to his other customers on his delivery route, in addition to the bread.
He bought the recipe for the rice puddings outright from the Cozy Shack delicatessen in 1967 and opened a small factory in Ridgewood, Queens. The small company quickly expanded into a major business. As of January 2008, Gruppuso's company has more than 400 employees working in three plants, which are located inTurlock, California, Hicksville, New York and Lough Egish, Ireland. The company estimated its total revenue at around $140 million in 2007, much of it from the sale of 115 million containers of pudding and pastries during that year. Cozy Shack puddings are sold throughout Europe, the United States, Mexico andCanada.
In 2006, the New York Times named Kozy Shack's rice pudding as one of its "Grocery Gems."
In 2012, Kozy Shack Enterprises was sold to Land O'Lakes.
