Listen to this articleMama’s Creations is expanding its partnership with two of the largest retail chains in the U.S.
In a May 4 press release, the East Rutherford-based marketer and manufacturer of fresh prepared deli foods announced its lineup of family-sized “reheat-and-eat” meal solutions is hitting the deli sections at Walmart and Target nationwide.
According to Mama’s Creations, three new items (flame grilled chicken breasts, flame grilled chicken breast strips and fajita seasoned grilled chicken strips) will be available at 2,000 Walmart locations nationwide.
Walmart shoppers will also find dinnertime staples from its popular Mama Mancini’s brand, including classic meatloaf with tangy sauce; sausage, peppers & onions; and 24-ounce packs of both cheese stuffed chicken meatballs and Italian-style sauce with beef meatballs, Mama’s Creations said.
At Target, 750 stores will begin carrying Mama Mancini’s 24-ounce Italian-style sauce and beef meatballs, according to Mama’s Creations.
Founded in 2010, Mama’s Creations makes and distributes all-natural beef, turkey, chicken, pork meatballs and other Italian products. Its lineup is also sold at retailers including BJ’s Wholesale Club, ShopRite, Publix and Costco.
The fully cooked and seasoned roasted chicken strips that will begin shipping to Walmart are among the innovations that Mama’s Creations unveiled during last year’s International Dairy Deli Bakery Association’s tradeshow in New Orleans.
Commenting on the latest distribution deals, Mama’s Creations Chief Commercial Officer Chris Darling said, “Executing a rollout of this magnitude, which involves complex, end-to-end refrigerated fresh distribution, is a testament to our immense operational capacity and reliability as a supply chain partner.”
“We aren’t just providing an exceptional product, we’re providing the partnership that modern retailers need. This launch signals to the industry that Mama’s Creations has the reach, scale, and strategic vision to elevate the fresh prepared category nationwide,” Darling said.
