About Calo 

Launched in November of 2019, Calo is on a mission to make healthy easy. We’re a team of dedicated people driving this mission by providing better, faster, and cheaper ways to access food through technology.

About Calo Retail

About two years ago, we wanted to make healthy even easier, and that’s when we launched our first ”Calo Cafe” unit. We believe there’s a huge room in the market for this kind of concept, and we’re here to claim that space. Our vision is bold: to open over 100 stores in the coming years and become pioneers in this category.

Retail for us isn’t just about serving coffee and food. It’s about creating a new kind of food experience, where health meets speed, style meets substance, and the customer is the driving force behind it all.

This role is for someone who’s visionary, someone whose designs evoke emotion, create connection, and breathe life, feeling, and memory into every space.
