Description
Summary:	This case centers on Revolution Foods (RevFoods), a for-profit Benefit Corporation that has become a high-profile, high-growth, social enterprise known for its healthy school lunch program within K-12 schools. The RevFoods B case focuses on how RevFoods, in 2018, chose to exit the consumer-packaged goods (CPG) business as highlighted in the "A" case, and instead double down on its school-related food business, optimizing efficiencies and economies of scale with expansion to school districts located near current food production plants. But then, in 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic hit, causing RevFoods' revenues to initially plummet to 4% of its normal levels due to school closures. This necessitated a new level of resiliency and innovation for RevFoods' management team as the organization both needed to find new ways to serve its communities--especially "food insecure" adults and families--due to motivations around impact and financial performance. Ultimately, RevFoods successfully pivoted during the pandemic, ending the fiscal year with $174 million in revenue (in FY2020), representing a 24% increase from FY2019.
