House of Beloved Brands (HOBB™) Debuts the First Heritage Foods Wholesale Marketplace Powered by Spresso™
After more than 30 years as a trusted distributor of Caribbean groceries, Jacobs Imports Inc. today announced its transformation into House of Beloved Brands (HOBB™), a modern wholesale marketplace designed to elevate heritage food brands and the communities behind them.
We’re committed to helping diaspora families save more, access better food options, and stay connected to the flavors that shaped them.
Rooted in the cultural and emotional value of food, HOBB™ empowers diaspora-led and globally inspired grocery brands to expand beyond traditional distribution. From Caribbean seasonings to Latin American pantry staples, HOBB™ makes heritage-driven products more discoverable, scalable, and integrated into retail and e-commerce ecosystems.
Rethinking the Global Grocery Aisle
HOBB™ is reshaping how heritage foods appear in commerce, not as a niche or single aisle, but as an essential part of everyday food culture. By removing long-standing barriers to entry, HOBB™ enables authentic brands to reach new audiences, channels, and geographies.
Powered by the Spresso™ Enterprise Commerce Suite, HOBB’s marketplace supports multi-node fulfillment, AI-driven operations, and seamless B2B and DTC capabilities. The platform gives brands enterprise tools to manage inventory, automate workflows, and scale profitably across wholesale, retail, and marketplace environments.
Our mission is simple: make it easier to bring heritage foods to more homes,” said Dexter Jacobs, Founder and CEO of HOBB™. “Whether for flavor, nostalgia, or identity, food deserves a pathway that honors its cultural roots while unlocking opportunity for the people behind it.
Built for Community Impact
Beyond commerce, HOBB™ reinvests in the communities that give heritage foods their meaning. Through local partnerships, food pantry programs, and neighborhood economic initiatives, it is redefining what it means to build a brand rooted in purpose and profit.
Jared Yaman, CEO of Spresso™, added: “We’re proud to power HOBB’s mission. By combining deep cultural authenticity with best-in-class technology, HOBB™ is charting a new path for global food distribution.”
