Brownie Brittle Founder Sheila G. Mains
Appears on Lifetime's Supermarket Superstar
In August, Sheila G. Mains, Founder and CEO of
Brownie Brittle LLC and creator of Sheila G's™ Original Brownie Brittle™ snacks, appeared on Lifetime
Network's new reality series Supermarket Superstar.
Each episode of Supermarket Superstar follows
three home cooks who believe they have the next
great product that deserves to hit supermarket
shelves. Mains appeared on the August 15 episode of
the program, where she served as a special guest
mentor to three aspiring entrepreneurs. Mains guided
the contestants as they pitched their food products to
a panel of industry experts for a once-in-a-lifetime
chance to have their creation launched in grocery
stores across the nation.
"I [was] thrilled to hear pitches for exciting new
gourmet food product ideas from the contestants on
this season's Supermarket Superstar," Mains said.
"I've been in their shoes, growing my brownie business from our start in my home kitchen to our eventual
success with Brownie Brittle snacks on store shelves
around the world."
Mains started her booming brownie company in
1992 after losing her executive position with an industrial advertising agency. Armed with her passion for
sweet treats and scrumptious samples, Mains began
selling her brownies to local corporations and retail
stores. In 1994, Mains' brownies were discovered by
one of the executive chefs at a major theme park and
she became an overnight success.
