NEW YORK, Sept. 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FE International, Inc., the global market leader in mid-market technology mergers and acquisitions (M&A), today announced the successful acquisition of 100 Days of Real Food, a health food community website, by Organically Addison. FE International served as the sole sell-side M&A advisor on the acquisition.
100 Days of Real Food started in 2010 as a blog centered on resources and recipes to help readers remove processed foods and integrate real ingredients in their daily meals. The venture then brokered a New York Times #1 Best Selling cookbook, national television appearances and international fanbase.
“Eating functional, nutritious food with an active lifestyle are the reasons I’m able to share my passions. I’ve been fortunate enough to leverage my experiences to help others, and by adding more valuable references and information to my sites, more people will be able to obtain the free resources they need to be happy and healthy,” said Addison LaBonte, founder and CEO of Organically Addison and buyer of 100 Days of Real Food.
The global health and wellness foods market is poised to grow $1.5 billion by 2029, driven largely because of the growing number altering their eating habits and embracing a balanced nutritional diet. Led by FE International, the highly competitive process lasted only about three months from the listing of the business to closing. The deal marks the sixth website now owned and operated by LaBonte.
“This deal demonstrates how interest in health and wellness businesses as investment opportunities is growing as fast as the market itself. Like consumers, investors’ tastes are changing and realizing the value of how healthier eating can benefit them personally, and their portfolios as well,” said Thomas Smale, CEO of FE International.
