Bridgford Foods Corporation

Anaheim, CA United States

  (NASDAQ: BRID)

Company Description

Too many cooks might spoil Bridgford Foods' business. The company manufactures, markets, and distributes a slew of frozen, refrigerated, and snack foods. Its lineup ranges from biscuits and bread dough to deli meats, dry sausage, and beef jerky. (It's one of the nation's largest sellers of jerky and other meat snacks). Bridgford adds to its offerings by buying for resale some snack and refrigerated foods made by other processors. The company sells to foodservice (restaurants and institutions) and retailers (supermarkets, mass merchandise, and convenience stores) in the US and Canada largely through distributors, brokers, and a direct store delivery network. Wal-Mart generates more than 10% of Bridgford's sales.
