How it all Began
The Fruit Pantry was started in 2010 and is dedicated in loving memory of Claudia Shields. After the passing of her beautiful mom, Claudia, from breast cancer, Christina started The Fruit Pantry with the hope that women and men alike could start eating healthier, even while in the workplace. Since there were not many healthy options out there for the workplace, Christina took a chance and opened up The Fruit Pantry.
Since being established in June 2010, we have serviced countless "top 100 places to work" and Fortune 500 companies, along with many other highly awarded businesses. In February 2020, we expanded our office deliveries to include the Houston area.

Meet the Staff
CEO & Founder Christina Knight has spent most of her lifetime in customer service-related jobs, which you will surely recognize once you become a client. Christina is married to a wonderful man, Stacey (without him, her dream of The Fruit Pantry would not have come to light). They have two sons, Justin, a successful Commercial Real Estate Agent, and Brennan, 5 years old, who was adopted at birth, and they both feel so young these days. Christina also actively finds homes for lost, hurt, or unwanted animals. When not at work, Christina enjoys spending time with her family, reading a good book, traveling, and watching football (GO, COWBOYS!).
