At just 14 years old, Orian, a student at Chaviva School, has already made a name for herself as a young entrepreneur. With the support of her father, she founded Fruncherz, a company specializing in kosher freeze-dried candy. Her innovative take on freeze-dried treats has gained popularity, with her products now available in kosher restaurants and grocery stores in Cleveland, Atlanta, and Detroit, with plans to expand further.
Orian’s passion for freeze-dried candy began when she first discovered it and was amazed at how it transformed regular sweets into something even more exciting. The texture became lighter, and the flavors intensified. Inspired by the possibilities, she thought, Why not turn this into a business? With her father’s support, Fruncherz was born.
Unlike traditional chewy candy, freeze-dried candy goes through a process that removes moisture while preserving the flavor. The result is a crunchy, melt-in-your-mouth texture that lasts longer and stays fresh. It’s an ideal snack, Shabbat treat, or gift, making it a unique addition to the kosher market.
Fruncherz products are available online for local pickup and shipping, as well as in many kosher grocery stores and restaurants. As demand grows, Orian continues to expand the product line, introducing new flavors and varieties.
Her entrepreneurial journey was fueled by the influence of her father, who introduced her to books like Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki and Be Useful by Arnold Schwarzenegger. Reading about financial independence and business development helped her realize that she wanted to create opportunities and be her own boss. She values independence, innovation, and the ability to help others achieve success. While she acknowledges that working different jobs provides valuable experience, she ultimately believes in the power of building something of her own.
For young entrepreneurs, Orian’s advice is simple: Start now. She emphasizes the importance of reading, learning from successful people, and taking that first step. “The moment you make your first dollar working for yourself instead of someone else, it’s life-changing. Don’t wait for the traditional path—opportunities are everywhere if you take them.”
Outside of her business, Orian enjoys reading, playing piano, working out, hiking, and traveling. She values hard work, gratitude, and kindness, always striving to provide the best service to her customers. She believes in staying open-minded, accepting constructive criticism, and working with dedication.
With her strong mindset and passion for innovation, Orian is proving that age is no barrier to success. As Fruncherz continues to grow, she remains committed to delivering high-quality, delicious freeze-dried treats to the kosher market.
