Krause & Krause Inc. has been around since the early 1950’s when Evangeline Krause (my great grandmother) started selling Nutrilite Vitamins from her turkey farm deep in Minnesota. She started selling Nutrilite Double X Vitamins because she was blown away by the improvement they made to her health. Her passion for Nutrilite was contagious, and through many "No's" the "Yes's" began to accumulate, and her business began to grow. Great Grandma Van was also very passionate about her faith and she used her Nutrilite business and the newfound income from it to start a worldwide missionary support group right out of her living room in rural Minnesota. As she reached out to and supported individual missionaries around the world she encouraged her friends around Minnesota who also started selling Nutrilite to do the same with their new income. Soon Great Grandma Van had a thriving Nutrilite business as well as a missionary support team that was meeting in her living room every month to pray for and support tons of global missionaries.
The Krause's met Rich and Jay while they where also selling Nutrilite. After not too long Amway would stem out from their Nutrilite business when Rich and Jay landed on an organic soap solution (LOC). Evangeline Krause’s son Roger and his wife Ruthie soon moved to Ada Michigan to join in the development of this new business and start to grow Krause & Krause Inc. which has now been apart of the Krause family story for 4 generations.
