Real story. Real food. Since 1996. Simple ingredients and years of practice. That's how Mom Luda made them at home, and at our first pelmeni shop in Brooklyn. We make them just like that, still.

More $ per store than every other dumpling brand in the measured set.

And we're doing it with only 3 SKUs, from the bottom shelf.

Side by side: competitor shelf blocks with monthly per-store dollars. 1: Luda's $133 from 3 SKUs at $7.49. 2: Mrs T's $124, 4 SKUs at $4.10. 3: Laoban $61, 6 SKUs at $7.99. 4: Mila $52, 5 SKUs. 5: Dumpling Daughter $51, 4 SKUs.
$/store/month, brand, same stores (independent grocer panel, June 2026).

Eye level in the set is the upside.

+66% in-store growth, year over year.

The stores that carry Luda's keep buying more: 10,000+ units in the first half of 2025 to 18,00+ in the first half of 2026.

And it's accelerating: +131% over the last 12 weeks, straight into the slow season.

Basis: total Rainforest sell-through cases, first half 2026 vs first half 2025, deduplicated by store, date and SKU; about the same store base ordering in both periods, so growth is deeper reorders, not new-door fill.

Acceleration: SPINS, natural channel, 12 weeks ending 6/14/26.
