Keith Strenger

Hey! I'm Keith. I'm an entrepreneur and red vines enthusiast.

I spent the majority of my professional career as a produce broker in Southern and Northern California. In the last couple years I have founded two successful businesses; Pepo Melo - Fruit Bowls and Nosy Neighbors - Coffee & Donuts.

I'm excited about what's next, always brainstorming and looking for new opportunities.

Taking the place of a Chinese antiques store that never seemed to have any customers and yet hung on for years, Pepo Melo is a hive of activity in the morning, and for all I know at other times of day as well. It specializes in fruit bowls, most of which are vegan, and seems to be a hit with the colleges crowd. more

The Student Life - Pepo Melo is one in a melon
Opinion: The Claremont Village has great food. Fact: There are at least two of almost everything — two boba places, two ramen restaurants, two sushi stops and at least three ice cream and pizza places. But as of right now, there is only one place that sells vegan and healthy fast-food, and that place is Pepo Melo. Keith Strenger, the owner of Pepo Melo, is a produce broker for melons. more
