Ellbee’s Journey
From one jar, to becoming a must-have in every cook’s kitchen.
What started with a freezer full of beef, a jar of garlic, and a few well loved spices has grown into something far bigger and more rewarding than we ever imagined.
I turned into a spice girl in the late ’90s when I was a stylist and salon owner. I began experimenting with a homemade garlic seasoning that quickly won over family and friends. After countless backyard barbecues and endless refill requests, it was clear that people loved our unique garlic seasonings, so in 2008 we officially went on the market as Ellbee’s Garlic Seasonings. Our eight unique garlic seasonings, BBQ sauce and brines take “EVERY DISH FROM GOOD TO GOURMET”.
The name? It came to me during a long drive — “Ell” for Linda, and “Bee” for Brent, my husband and trusted taste tester. Today every batch of Ellbee’s is crafted with care and consistency at the Ellbee’s Garlic Plant under Brent’s hands-on supervision.
As the demand for Ellbee’s grew so did our dreams! In 2016 we opened Ellbee’s General Store in the heart of Historic Downtown Wentzville, MO. Our store is a warm welcoming place where the community gathers and visitors discover something new every time they stop in. Ellbee’s has created a Main Street Destination!
Come in and meet our baristas for a fresh coffee, while enjoying something tasty from our breakfast or lunch menu. Old-fashion candy, chocolates, ice cream and hundreds of vintage sodas line the store walls, and that’s not all… of course you’ll find our full lineup of Ellbee’s Garlic Seasonings. It’s always worth the trip to Ellbee’s General Store, where we have something for everyone!
In 2022 next to the General Store we added Ellbee’s Gathering Spot, the ideal setting to connect with friends and indulge in fun shopping in our three unique shops.
Ellbee’s is a Family Owned USA business located in the State of Missouri. Whether you are a long time loyal fan, a new customer or a first time wholesaler we are honored to welcome you into the Ellbee’s Family. Please join us on our journey as we grow through flavor, community, and nostalgia.
