Sara Lee North American Retail

Downers Grove, IL United States

 

Company Description

Sara Lee may be best known for cheesecake, but its North American Retail business segment satisfies an appetite for main course offerings, too. In addition to the Sara Lee brand of frozen baked goods (cake, pie, and cheesecake), the business is a major US meat processor. Its diverse cornucopia of food products includes breakfast and dinner sausages and snacks (brands Jimmy Dean, Hillshire Farm), hot dogs and corn dogs, and deli and lunch meats (Ball Park, State Fair). Sara Lee North American Retail also offers the one-cup, at-home brewing system, Senseo. Almost all sales are made to US retailers -- supermarkets, national chains, and warehouse clubs -- which represent about one-third of Sara Lee's total sales.
