COMPILED BY ARIELLE FEGER
"Firehook has driven the growth in our cracker category
over the last two years. We o er the Sea Salt, Rosemary, and
Garlic-Thyme varieties, though there are many more that
would sell if we had space on the shelves. Customers like
that they're sturdy, the packaging allows them to maintain
their form, and they work in a variety of applications."
