Penzey's Spice House owner has donated over $Millions to liberal causes and candidates. I drive to shop at their Green Bay store because I support their values. Awesome company. They have online for liberal foodies nationwide.


Penzeys sends 37,000 free 'RESIST!' spice boxes to Washington, DC, homes ahead of inauguration​








The company got national attention last summer, including from Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. Now, Penzeys is marking Trump's second inauguration Jan. 20 by sending free spice boxes to Washington, D.C., homes.

Penzeys has a long history of political activism​

Penzeys has openly criticized Trump since his first election victory in 2016. The company's website includes an "About Republicans" page, which outlines its anti-Republican stances and intentions to include political activism in its business. Penzeys has an online store and locations in over 20 states, including numerous stores in Wisconsin

In 2018 and 2019, Penzeys was one of the biggest spenders on Facebook ads in favor of impeaching Trump. According to Journal Sentinel reporting from the time, the company spent more than $2.3 million on "ads about social issues, elections or politics" between May 2018 and October 2019. The spice company made national news in 2019 for outspending anyone but Trump on impeachment-related ads. Ahead of last summer's Republican National Convention, the company paid for a highway billboard urging voters to "Remember January 6th."

Penzeys Spices gets the inclusion hero of the week recognition based on its leader's ability to acknowledge political evil and call for change unapologetically. Penzeys Spices is in the retail business but manages to influence the business direction and the world. Let's examine this week's inclusion hero honing in on lessons to take forward and implement in our workplaces.


Only a few companies will risk bottom-line revenue for the greater good. Bill Penzey is one of those leaders, as his transparent communications echo his stance on political events and support for diverse groups. Bill Penzey is to be applauded for being a leader unafraid of addressing external activities impacting the world and its consumers.

"Going forward we would still be glad to have you as customers, but we're done pretending the Republican Party's embrace of cruelty, racism, Covid lies, climate change denial, and threats to democracy are anything other than the risks they legitimately are. If you need us to pretend you are not creating the hurt you are creating in order for you to continue to be our customer, I'm sad to say you might be happier elsewhere." - Bill Penzey

I believe in supporting companies that support my values. I've been lucky to be fairly close to some Spice House locations. I stock up when I visit my grandson in Green Bay.

I buy Penzey's on Amazon. Figure they cancel each other out.
 
I wasn't aware of their politics but I do like their spices - uniformly excellent and we stock up every year.

actually no, dang good spices ... I'd spent hundreds of dollars through them ... they lost my business forever

I've found others just as good not as politically hateful
 
We have a store here in Atlanta. Not a big fan.

Much prefer Spice House out of Chicago.

Trump, Trump voters .... .its not a good business model IMO

Business really should keep their political opinions to themselves ... or at the very least don't be hateful and mean

and thank you Penzey's .... we did. We remembered ... and we remembered the 4 years of Biden too

support who you want to

give me a reason and I'll drop supporting a business fast - liberals learned me the power of this years ago, the combined buying power of Conservatives can break or make most companies/businesses (except the big ones)

They are not the same spices. Not at all.
