Spud Lab

Built to Help the Right Brands Grow

At Spud, we work with businesses that put real care into what they make. Brands built on strong values, quality ingredients, and long-term thinking.

Spud Lab is where we partner with emerging vendors and small businesses to help them take their next step. Our role is to make sure quality products are fairly represented in a crowded market, with the right support behind the scenes and a retail environment designed to help them stand out.

We know from experience that passion is only the starting point. Sustainable success comes from strong foundations, including clear pricing, thoughtful packaging, reliable supply, and real customer insight. That’s where Spud Lab comes in.

Designed for Real Businesses

Spud Lab isn’t built on theory or one-size-fits-all advice. It’s hands-on, practical support shaped by years of working with vendors in a real retail environment.

We work alongside partners to strengthen the parts of their business that matter most, including:

Product readiness and retail fit
Packaging, labelling, and shelf presentation
Pricing strategy and margin clarity
Forecasting and supply planning
Brand awareness through marketing support
Understanding customer demand through real data

The goal isn’t to rush growth, it’s to build it properly. So when demand shows up, your business is ready.

Let’s Talk

We’re especially excited to work with small, values-led brands that care deeply about what they make. If you think Spud could be a good fit for your business, tell us what you’re creating and where you’d like to go next.
