Memphis native Jennifer McCullough – aka, Chef Jenn – is reeling with excitement as her signature seafood entrees have found their way into 800 Wal-Mart stores just seven months after she first pitched the products at Wal-Mart’s Open Call in July 2014.

“I began selling soups and catering fresh prepared meals out of my home. As a small caterer I got the necessary permits and started selling my food locally throughout Memphis in small retailers and farmers markets through a business I branded ‘Uptown Grocery.’ I never dreamed that I could do business with Wal-Mart,” McCullough said.
