History
Hannah Banana Bread Company was founded by Lisa Spinner while on maternity leave from her job as a plain clothes investigator for the Cook County State's Attorney's Office in Chicago, Illinois. She added chocolate chips to her grandmother's banana bread recipe and served the loaves to guests during a party for her daughter Hannah. Guests encouraged Lisa to start a baked goods company selling the finished products to specialty food retailers, as well as to individuals and companies. She incorporated the company in the fall of 2000 and named it after her daughter.
Since its founding, it has grown into a regionally distributed brand with notable retail customers including Nordstrom, Whole Foods Market, QVC, Costco, Virgin Airlines North America and Jewel supermarkets.
