Western grad starts Kalamazoo Olive Co.

Western Michigan University grad James Ryan's Kalamazoo Olive Co. is thriving in Florida, MLive reports. He sells olive oil   and also ships to customers around the world. The company celebrated its one-year anniversary in June.

Kalamazoo Olive Co. sells about a dozen core products, but everything else is sold based on the season and availability. 

He named the company after because he thinks it's the coolest city in Michigan.

Excerpt:

"I said, you know, I'm madly in love with no snow, but I'm also in love with Kalamazoo," Ryan said. "How can I bring Kalamazoo down to Florida?"
