About Project Lean Nation
Project LeanNation (PLN) is where fitness, food, and franchising collide—and it’s unlike anything else in the $47B health & wellness space.
At its core, PLN is a fresh-prepared meal business—but the magic is in the model. Customers pick up their weekly meals in-store, where they also check in with your team for accountability coaching and community support. That means you're not just selling food—you’re delivering results people stick with. And because it runs on a subscription model, your revenue is recurring and predictable from day one.
There’s no cooking. No food waste. No back-of-house chaos. All meals are made at a central kitchen and shipped fresh to your store—keeping operations lean and ownership accessible, even for first-time entrepreneurs.
With a bold brand, premium packaging, and nearly a decade of proven success, PLN is built for owners who want a high-margin, modern business that genuinely changes lives—starting with their own.

Why Project Lean Nation?
Project LeanNation is more than a meal prep brand—it’s a recurring revenue machine with real impact.
Unlike trendy health concepts that fizzle out, PLN is built on consistency, community, and serious staying power. Every week, members pick up their fresh, ready-made meals while getting coached by your in-store team—building accountability, results, and retention that most food brands only dream of.
