by Lizzy Scully, Merge This Media
After years of being frustrated finding only candy, chips, and row upon row of energy bars at convenience stores, local entrepreneur Arn Hayden brainstormed a new option. In March of 2010, he envisioned Solbites, an all natural single-serving snack package of crackers, nut butter, and fruit spreads.
