American Nut Company
About American Nut Company:
American Nut Company was founded in 2017 by Lisa Robitaille, who left the corporate world in search of something more entrepreneurial, creative, and customer-focused. What started as a passion project quickly turned into a thriving snack business rooted in quality, flavor, and heart.
With locations in the Greater Columbus Convention Center and North Market, American Nut Company is known for its fresh, small-batch snacks made with the finest ingredients. From Cinnamon Vanilla glazed nuts (pecans, almonds & cashews) to savory rosemary bar mix, toasted corn, and specialty popcorns — there’s something for every craving. Lisa even donates a portion of every sale to elephant sanctuaries, inspired by her love for the gentle giants.
How Did The Idea Come About?
Lisa grew up surrounded by creative cooking, family traditions, and entrepreneurial spirit. After years in a corporate environment, she was ready to fulfill her dream of running her own business. Her love of cooking inspired her to create snacks that were flavorful, high-quality, and made with love. She began selling at farmers markets and local events before officially launching American Nut Company.
Her journey led her to Columbus — and to the North Market. A spontaneous visit turned into a long-term home when a space opened up, and Lisa jumped at the chance to join this vibrant, supportive community.
What’s Your Favorite Thing About Being a Part of The North Market?
For Lisa, the North Market isn’t just a location — it’s a family. The community of merchants, the collaboration, the freedom to create — it all makes the experience incredibly special. With no corporate agendas, just mutual support and love for good food, the North Market continues to inspire the team at American Nut Company every day.
