We're excited to announce the winner of this semester's Grillo's Pickles University (GPU) scholarship, Sadie Dodson! Sadie has brought great vibes to the college ambassador program. From tie-dyeing Grillo's merch to passing out pickles at the Boston Marathon, she's worked tirelessly to spread pickle love at the Tufts campus, summer pop-up shops, and beyond. Congratulations, Sadie: we're so proud to have you as part of the Grillo's gang.

WE MAKE THE WORLD'S BEST PICKLE
About us
Grillo's Pickles began simply with a pickle cart, just a small wooden stand in downtown Boston, where Travis Grillo and his friends would sell two spears for one dollar. Travis made the pickles by night using his family's 100-year old recipe - one he'd memorized from making pickles every summer as a kid. Then, in the morning, Travis would bike to the Boston Common and set up the cart with his buddies. Theyʼd hang out all day, urging people to try the simple Grillo family pickle. It was a small business, but Travis worked hard for it. He made more pickles, biked more miles, and slept less hours than he ever had before. Before he knew it, Whole Foods Markets and the Boston Red Sox asked to feature the pickles. Others promptly followed. Today, Grilloʼs Pickles are available in grocery stores across the country. Even so, not much has changed. At its core, the company will always be Travis and his buddies spreading the word about these awesome pickles, just like years ago in the Boston Common. The pickle itself hasnʼt changed, either. Itʼs still garden-fresh, all-natural, and refreshingly delicious. We think itʼs the best pickle in the world.
