Meet Reggie Kelly: Former NFL Player & Owner KYVAN Foods & KYVAN Body Essentials

We had the good fortune of connecting with Reggie Kelly and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Reggie, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
Here at KYVAN Foods our goal is to specialize in innovative, never-before-seen sauces and seasonings. Our mission is to grow our business the old fashion way with honesty, integrity and hard work. Creating premium, great tasting, quality food products that nurture the body and soul has always been our priority. As our motto states: “One taste and you will Appreciate the Goodness”

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
KYVAN Foods is a line of specialty products created by Former NFL Player Reggie Kelly. We are excited to bring some innovative and new sauces to the market. It has been a smooth road because we have centered ourselves around some great mentors. The biggest challenge, if we had to say so, would be brand awareness. Getting the consumer to know the brand, taste it but usually when they taste they are sold and we have long-term fans. Our products are unique in flavor, have no high fructose corn syrup, gluten free, made with love and we truly believe once you take one taste you will be hooked for life!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Coca Cola, Aquarium, Martin Luther King Museum, Stone Mountain for a great walk, game at the Mercedes Benz to watch the Falcons play some football and eat at Chops, Stoney River, Frankies Steakhouse or Pappadeaux.
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My wife, Sheila
