Profitable Plant-Based Snack Brand - DTC & Wholesale Ready
Business Description
C’est Lä Vé isn’t just another snack brand—it’s a movement. Designed for the modern snacker who wants compassion, taste, and sustainability, this brand delivers the full experience: plant-based charcuterie that delights the senses and cares for the planet.
What you get: savory deli-style “meats,” creamy “cheeses,” bruschetta, and sweet & salty trail mix—all nut-free, vegan, and perfectly balanced. Each single-serve Lunchérie pack offers 10g protein, good Source of Iron & fiber and beautifully curated flavors like Italian, Smoked, and Peppered.
Sustainability is baked in: the trays are 100% compostable, with the logo/tagline engraved on the trays. From packaging to materials, the brand walks the talk.
Authenticity & trust: Ingredients are always plant-based, fresh; transparent sourcing. The site showcases customer love (“the best vegan cheese I have ever tasted” “an adult ‘lunchable’ that’s plant-based and delicious”) which proves there’s real demand.
Mission & market fit: plant-based charcuterie is still rare in the U.S. snack scene. C’est Lä Vé bridges the gap—offering a delicious, ready-to-eat option that also aligns with values around animal welfare, environmentalism, and conscious living.
Everything is set up for scale: a strong DTC storefront via Shopify, a wholesale presence via UNFI and FAIRE, merchandising (recycled/eco merch), and full design & marketing assets. New owner steps in with identity, recipe, packaging, and readiness.
With the consumer shift toward healthier snacks, vegan options, eco-packaging, and mindful consumption, C’est Lä Vé sits at the intersection of several high-growth trends. For someone ready to grow brand reach—retail, subscription boxes, Amazon, large-scale events, catering—this is a rare turnkey opportunity to own a brand with purpose, flavor, and uniqueness baked in.

- Market Outlook / Competition
- C’est Lä Vé is the only dedicated manufacturer of plant-based charcuterie in the U.S. market. The only close competitor, Mighty Yum, has exited, leaving C’est Lä Vé as the sole brand in this niche. Additionally, it is the only snack manufacturer using 100% compostable custom trays, aligning with eco-friendly consumer trends. Demand for plant-based and sustainable snacks is growing rapidly, creating a prime opportunity for expansion into retail, wholesale, and e-commerce channels.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Significant growth opportunities include expanding the product line with “Cheese & Trail Mix” snack packs, “Party Size” packs, and standalone trail mix offerings (shelf-stable, retail-ready). Catering opportunities for events such as sports games, weddings, and festivals can unlock new revenue streams. Additional growth paths include expanding wholesale and outreach to retailers, launching on Amazon, developing subscriptions, pursuing co-branding with vegan influencers, and scaling event sales via partnerships with eco-conscious festivals and markets.
