A Family Affair

At just six years old, Lauren, YouCopia’s President, asked her dad (Mark) to build an honest-to-goodness lemonade stand- and her first "business" was born! You could say entrepreneurship comes naturally for Lauren, whose family tree is rich with marketing leaders and innovative self-starters.

The dynamic duo (officially) team up

Fast forward to 2007, when (dad) Mark asked Lauren to help him market SpiceStack®, a first-of-its-kind spice organizer- and she accepted the challenge! It wasn’t long before inventory filled their garage and Lauren made daily trips to the UPS store in her Honda Accord (filled to capacity with orders).

YouCopia Grows/Blossoms

With Lauren’s leadership, the company continued to grow, as did the need for more "YouCopians." The team expanded to include a talented group of design, product, finance, sales, marketing, and operations professionals. With all hands on deck, YouCopia moved into a larger space, now headquartered in Chicago’s vibrant Ravenswood neighborhood.
