I need to say something about Kingsport.
Most of the content we produce at SmashMeals talks about the Tri-Cities as a whole — Johnson City, Kingsport, and Bristol together. That makes sense for marketing reach. But Kingsport is home. This is where our kitchen is. This is where SmashMeals started in 2017. This is the community that showed up first, ordered first, and told their neighbors first.
Kingsport deserves its own conversation.
SmashMeals Is a Kingsport Business
Our kitchen sits at 1917 Meadowview Pkwy Suite 100, Kingsport, TN 37660. That's not a warehouse. That's a real commercial kitchen that has been operating every week since 2017, producing chef-prepared, macro-counted, 100% gluten-free meals for this region.
We're not a franchise. We're not a distribution center for a national brand. We are a Kingsport business, run by a Kingsport family, serving a Kingsport community that has embraced us from the beginning.
When you order SmashMeals, the money stays here. The jobs are here. The kitchen is here. And the food reflects this community — real flavors, real portions, real people who care about what they're making.

Who SmashMeals Serves in Kingsport
Kingsport is a diverse community with a wide range of nutritional needs. Here's who we serve most:
Busy working families who don't have time to cook every night but want real food, not fast food. Our meals heat in two minutes and require zero prep work.
GLP-1 medication users — Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound are increasingly common across the Kingsport area. Our portion-controlled, high-protein meals are built for customers whose appetite has changed but whose nutritional needs haven't.
Bariatric patients — both pre-op and post-op. The Ballad Health system in the region serves a significant bariatric patient population, and SmashMeals supports both the preparation and recovery phases with appropriate meal options.
Celiac disease and gluten sensitivity patients. Kingsport has a real celiac community, and our 100% dedicated kitchen is the safest local option available. No other meal prep company in the Tri-Cities operates a fully dedicated gluten-free facility.
Athletes and active adults training at Kingsport gyms. Our high-protein meals support performance and recovery for everyone from casual gym-goers to competitive athletes.
Seniors and their families. SmashMeals offers convenient, nutritious meals for older adults who want home-delivered food they can trust. No complex preparation required.
Kingsport's Relationship With SmashMeals
Since 2017, Kingsport customers have been at the center of everything we've built. The partnerships we've developed with local gyms and wellness businesses — G1 Elite Fitness, The Great Body Company, Build Power Grind — reflect the trust this community has extended to us.
We've catered Kingsport businesses and organizations. We've served the Taste of Kingsport event. We've been featured on local media for the work we're doing to serve this region. And we've shown up every Thursday night, every Friday morning, every Sunday and Monday — consistently, reliably, for nine years.
That consistency is a Kingsport value. We share it.
A Word From Lew
"Kingsport is where this whole thing started. My ex-wife Ashlee and I started SmashMeals because we wanted to build something for this community — real food for real people, without the gluten risk, without the subscription trap, without the compromise on quality. Nine years later, Kingsport is still our home and our heartbeat. Every meal that leaves our kitchen carries that."
— Lew Kizer, Founder of SmashMeals
What Scripture Says About Roots
"Do not despise these small beginnings, for the LORD rejoices to see the work begin." — Zechariah 4:10 (paraphrased from CSB)
SmashMeals started small. One kitchen. One community. One week at a time. What's grown from that beginning is a business that has served thousands of Kingsport families with food they can trust. Small beginnings, faithfully tended, grow into something worth celebrating.
