Hiram-based GrandyOats has changed its name to Grandy Organics, which is now run by CEO Aaron Anker after buying out long-time partner and COO Nat Peirce.
A mad scramble for money marked the April 2020 start of a $349 billion federal COVID-relief loan program that ran dry within two weeks. Afraid it wouldn’t even last that long, business owners deluged bankers with pleas for rapid issuance of the lifesaving loans.
“The biggest concern we all had was that the money would run out that first weekend,” says Aaron Anker, an owner and self-proclaimed chief granola officer at Grandy Oats, a Hiram-based maker of organic granola, trail mixes, roasted nuts and cereal that employs more than 30. “When the first round came out, I was on the phone with my banker until all hours.”
