Why did Food52 buy Schoolhouse?

<p><strong>Amanda Hesser</strong>—CEO of kitchen-oriented content-meets-commerce brand Food52—and <strong>Sara Fritsch</strong>—president of Portland-based manufacturer Schoolhouse—have been on <i>The Business of Home Podcast</i> before, but never as partners. Following the news that Food52 had bought Schoolhouse in a deal valued at $48 million, they return to the show to discuss what goes on behind the scenes in a high-stakes, high value acquisition and why they believe the pandemic has permanently elevated the value of home. </p><p>This podcast is sponsored by <a href="https://www.highpointmarket.org/">High Point Market</a> and <a href="www.modern-matter.com">Modern Matter</a></p><p><i><strong>LINKS</strong></i><br /><a href="www.food52.com"><strong>Food52</strong></a><br /><a href="www.schoolhouse.com"><strong>Schoolhouse</strong></a><br /><a href="www.instagram.com/dennisscully"><strong>Dennis Scully </strong></a><br /><a href="www.businessofhome.com"><strong>Business of Home</strong></a></p>
