History
[edit]Saladino's was founded in 1944 by Don Saladino.[2] Saladino gained experience working in her father's grocery store in Fresno, California.[3] Saladino combined his meat packing experience with family recipes from the Calabrese region in Italy to form the Saladino's Sausage Company.[citation needed] Initially Saladino focused primarily on distributing sausage products to local grocery stores.[citation needed] In 1980, Don's son Craig Saladino, joined the business and they expanded their products to include a wider variety of sausage and meat products while also beginning distribution to local pizzerias and restaurants.[citation needed]
In 2001, Saladino's moved to a larger facility located further north in Fresno.[citation needed] Their largest customer, the restaurant chain Subway.[citation needed] In that same year, they also expanded their operations to include additional warehouses located in Ontario, California, and West Sacramento, California.[citation needed]They operate in California, as well as parts of Arizona, Nevada, Idaho, and Oregon.[citation needed]
In November 2023, Saladino's Foodservice was acquired by US Foods Holding Corp.[4]
