Success story

Ajayi Popcorn

From Nigeria to the U.S. with fulfillment ready in weeks.

Ajayi Popcorn built a strong following at home and needed a U.S. partner to turn market-entry strategy into an executable supply chain.

Watch their story

Before EPC

  • Strong following in Nigeria, but no U.S. infrastructure or local operating expertise to enter the market efficiently.
  • Needed a U.S.-based partner that understood e-commerce and marketplace operations to execute their growth strategy.

They didn't need another consultant. They needed a U.S. execution partner that could turn strategy into warehouse-ready operations.

What EPC did

01

U.S. warehousing & fulfillment

Established Ajayi Popcorn's U.S. infrastructure without building their own operation.

02

Receiving, storage & prep

Managed inventory receiving, storage, order preparation, and outbound fulfillment from EPC's New Jersey facility.

03

Marketplace & DTC workflows

Built workflows supporting both marketplace and direct-to-consumer fulfillment as U.S. channels expanded.

04

Marketplace compliance support

Provided operational support for U.S. marketplace requirements, labeling, packaging, and shipment preparation.

05

Scalable fulfillment model

Created a model that let Ajayi focus on brand building while EPC managed physical execution.

The results

  • WEEKS U.S. operation live
  • 24 HR Order prep turnaround
  • $50K+ Infrastructure saved vs. building in-house
  • 1 Centralized U.S. operation

Ajayi entered the U.S. with fulfillment live — without leasing space, hiring warehouse staff, or building systems from scratch.

Seasonal spikes used to break us. ElitePrep scales with demand — every launch ships on time.
