History[]
LesserEvil was founded in March 2004 in Tuckahoe, New York. Their first products included potato puffs and a line of four Kettle Corns, which they touted as low in carbohydrates, free of trans fats, preservatives, and high-fructose corn syrup. In early 2005, the company shifted from a low-carb line to an all-natural line. In November 2011, the company was sold to Charles Coristine. Charles and his partner Andrew Strife opened a new office in Wilton, Connecticut. The company opened up its first manufacturing facility on Finance Drive in Danbury in 2012. The company has expanded a couple of times and now has larger factory on Commerce Ave, an office on Eagle Drive and a warehouse in Brookfield, Connecticut. The company employs about a 100 people between its three locations.
