Glee Gum operates in the food and beverage sector with a focus on natural confections. Its flagship gum line uses chicle, the sap from sapodilla trees in Central American rainforests, and emphasizes sustainable harvesting that supports rainforest conservation and local economies. The brand also offers Glee Gum Pops, Make Your Own Candy Kits, and Glee Tarts, a natural sugar-free candy available in four flavors. Based in Providence, Rhode Island, the company traces its origins to 1992 when educator Deborah Schimberg and her family traveled to Guatemala to learn about chicle. The venture began as Verve, Inc., which produced Glee Gum and related products and has remained a small-scale operation. In 2021, the brand launched a certified vegan version of Glee Gum and adopted compostable packaging, alongside other certifications such as Non-GMO Project Verified and Kosher.
