Getting Your Product into Walmart: The GreatPlate Story at ACTURE

Join us from anywhere on Tuesday, November 10th as we hear how one inventor took a pencil sketch all the way to the shelves of Walmart. Doors open for networking at 6:30 PM Eastern, and the program begins at 7:00 PM.

We'll hear from Rick Kellow, inventor, entrepreneur and owner of GreatPlate, a family-owned, American-made company built around solving one surprisingly universal problem: the food-and-drink juggle struggle.

The idea began at home, where Rick and his wife, Beth, watched a basement full of teenagers attempt to manage chips, dips, drinks, and video game controllers. Rather than blame the mess on the people making it, Rick saw a problem with the plate itself. He grabbed a pencil and started sketching.

Those early sketches eventually became prototypes, patents and GreatPlate. Since then, Rick has taken the brand from a simple idea to national television, major retail placements and millions of products sold, all while continuing to develop new ways to rethink a product most people assumed didn't need rethinking. Today, Rick remains hands-on in the business, helping lead GreatPlate's continued growth and product innovation.
