Clark Foods, a 147-year-old Canadian canned food brand, on Monday announced its highly anticipated entry into the U.S.market.
The company also announced a strategic distribution arrangement with wholesale distributors UNFI and KeHE, ensuring the widespread availability and accessibility of its products throughout the U.S.
"We are delighted to bring Clark Foods' line of gourmet baked beans to the discerning tastes of American consumers," said Clark President and CEO Rob McKenzie. "Our collaboration with UNFI and KeHE underscores our commitment to delivering unmatched quality and flavor to customers nationwide, and our flavors are specifically designed to challenge the status quo and provide a fresh perspective on a classic dish."
In 1877, William Clark muscled his way into the Canadian prepared foods industry with nothing but a determined belief that he could make better-tasting, higher-quality food products and that, having made them, people would line up to buy them. With only three employees and no money in the bank, he rented an old store front in downtown Montreal.
Before long, William and his four sons had built Clark Foods into one of Canada's largest diversified canned food enterprises that now is setting its sights on the U.S. market.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail and using premium ingredients, Clark Foods' baked beans include:
- Apple Bacon Mesquite
- Root Beer
- Maple Chipotle
- Chili Lime
- Buffalo Style
- Peach Honey Habanero
Clark Foods' baked beans is available for purchase through leading retailers nationwide, including ShopRite, Hannaford, Redner's Markets, Associated Grocers of New England, Shoppers Food, Strack & Van Til and Market District.
