awards excellence in company culture

PARK CITY, Utah, June 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Kodiak is proud to announce it has been named to Inc.'s 2025 Best Workplaces list and recognized in the Enduring Impact category, along with the Medium-Large company size category and Rocky Mountain regional category, which honors companies that have built exceptional workplaces and vibrant cultures that support their teams and businesses.

This year's list, featured on Inc.com, is the result of comprehensive measurement and evaluation of American companies that have excelled in creating exceptional workplaces and company cultures–whether in-person or remote.

The award process involved a detailed employee survey conducted by Quantum Workplace, covering critical elements such as management effectiveness, perks, professional development, and overall company culture. Each company's benefits were also audited to determine overall score and ranking. Kodiak is honored to be included among the 514 companies recognized this year.

"At Kodiak, we believe great culture starts with great people, and we're proud to have a team that brings passion, purpose, and grit to everything they do," said Val Oswalt, CEO of Kodiak. "We work hard to build an environment where people can show up as their full selves, grow in their careers, and feel truly connected to our mission of feeding epic days and wilder lives through real breakfasts. Being recognized by Inc. is a testament to the incredible people who make Kodiak what it is, and the culture that fuels us every day."
