Just in time for BBQ season, Hofmann Sausage Company recently announced an expansion of its distribution. Ingles Markets is now carrying three of Hofmann's retail hot dog items chainwide.
"Both companies have a rich history with generations of fans. And we are excited to have our products in Ingles Markets to serve even more grocery customers in states where we already have a presence," commented Ron Tomacchio, Chief Operating Officer for Hofmann Sausage Company, on the latest partnership.
Now on Ingles' shelves, shoppers will find Hofmann Skinless German Franks, Skinless Beef Franks, and Skinless Dinner Franks, perfect for outdoor festivities.
Hofmann's lineup includes hot dogs, sausages, jerky, hunter sticks, and condiments. The company's profile is now sold in 14 states across the eastern U.S. and Washington, DC.
