Cam Meekins spent his early career as a recording artist signed with Atlantic Records, producing, writing and performing his own music while touring across the US. He later turned those skills towards a very different venture: English muffins. Meekins told Entrepreneur that he and his brothers Kyle and Nick started Stone & Skillet in 2014, pooling $1,000 to buy a mixer and flour and making muffins in Kyle's Boston apartment. The company's own website, however, dates the creation of its original recipe to 2013, making the exact founding year unclear across sources. What began as a small side project has since become a family-owned packaged food company with national distribution across more than 3,000 retail locations. Its products are sold through chains including Whole Foods Market, Publix, Wegmans and Fresh Thyme. In a 2025 Entrepreneur interview, Meekins said the business had become an eight-figure company after reaching its first $100,000 month in its second year. A $5 million Series A announced in May 2026 is now funding further expansion.
