“We’re using lessons learned from years of experience in volunteer work, retail, small business ownership, and as concession stand volunteers to build a better way to manage concession stands— all to raise more money for our kids. We wanted to create a platform that allows organizations to keep the most amount of money in their pockets and not have giant expenses related to managing their concessions.”

Our Story: The Drive Behind Blitz Concessions
​
After years of community leadership and parent volunteering, one challenge stood out—youth organizations constantly struggled to raise enough funds to cover essential expenses. From uniforms to equipment, so many costs fell outside the budget, leaving booster clubs and non-profits scrambling for solutions.
With a background in product management for a major grocery chain, I saw an opportunity to bridge the gap. I combined my expertise in sales and inventory management with my passion for supporting non-profits, creating a solution designed specifically for the unique needs of volunteer-run organizations.
The idea was simple: build a flexible, easy-to-use platform that could handle the transient nature of booster clubs—where leadership changes as kids move through programs—while still providing powerful tools to increase profitability.
Blitz Concessions was born in 2019, but just as we launched, the world hit pause. The pandemic shut down events, limited capacities, and changed how money and food were handled. While many organizations put their concession stands on the back burner, we were already solving the very problems they would soon face.
Now, as events thrive again, Blitz Concessions is here to help you maximize sales, simplify operations, and run a more profitable stand. Whether you’re a booster club, little league, or non-profit, we make it easier than ever to turn your concessions into a reliable revenue stream.
