Bite Society: The High-Fidelity "Culinary Craft" Anchor for Modern Urban & Gifting Districts. Founded in 2020 by Lendy Hensley, Shana Hicks, and Katy Carroll (formerly of the iconic City Catering Company), Bite Society (hellobitesociety.com) is a world-class specialty food and gift brand defined by its "Design-Forward Gastronomy" philosophy. Serving as a critical Specialty Retail & Community Anchor, the brand bridges the gap between traditional gift baskets and edgy, tattoo-inspired boutique retail. Entering 2026, Bite Society remains a "Trophy Local Brand," maintaining a flagship presence in Seattle’s Pike Place Market while operating a high-capacity production kitchen and retail hub in South Lake Union. For developers, Bite Society represents a "High-Frequency Gifting Anchor"—driving intense year-round traffic through its unique, small-batch cookies, snacks, and condiments packaged in collectible, tattoo-flash art tins that double as permanent home decor.
