"Krescent is poised to disrupt the world of prepared meals in a way that will truly add good to the communities it serves," said Annie Cowden, director of the BNSF Neeley Leadership Program at TCU. "What makes krescent unique is its founder, Kassidy Allen, who lives every day through the lens of the students krescent will serve. Through krescent, Kassidy has grown from a college kid facing issues finding safe food to a collaborative, confident, and innovative CEO. While Kassidy had to consider the availability of safe food options when selecting where to attend college, future students will be able to consider all institutions, thanks to krescent. Kassidy took a problem from her everyday college life and used it to catapult a true entrepreneurial vision."
Kassidy Allen, double majoring in marketing and entrepreneurship with a leadership minor and consultative sales certificate, has made significant strides in her field. She is the co-founder of Krescent Foods, a company dedicated to helping college-aged students with food allergies 'eat safely' and 'live freely.' Through her leadership, Krescent Foods is developing innovative solutions to ensure safe and accessible dining options for students with dietary restrictions, significantly improving their quality of life.
"I am incredibly humbled and honored to receive the Future Texas Business Legend Scholar Award," said Kassidy. "This recognition motivates me to continue pushing the boundaries of my own business, to strive for excellence in everything I do, and to make a meaningful difference for others who share life-threatening food allergies as I do. I am grateful for the support of the Texas Business Hall of Fame and look forward to contributing to the vibrant business community here in Texas."
For over thirty years, the Texas Business Hall of Fame Foundation has been dedicated to recognizing and supporting outstanding business leaders in Texas.
