St. Cloud, Minnesota-based Coborn’s Inc. has launched Four Brothers Barbecue entrees exclusively sold in the company’s Coborn’s, Cash Wise and Marketplace Foods banners. The new product assortment includes hardwood smoked pulled pork, chicken, ribs and briskets, along with new chef-created sides available in the deli or meat departments.
The original recipes are branded with the company’s own Four Brothers label, paying tribute to the four Coborn Brothers: Bob, Dan, Bill and Ron, third-generation family members who worked at the flagship family grocery store in Sauk Rapids, Minnesota and led the company’s rapid expansion.
The company has expanded the Four Brothers assortment in recent years, growing the product line to include unique offerings in bakery, grocery, deli and meats. The Four Brothers Barbecue line will be available to be purchased hot or cold, fresh or packaged.
“This exciting, new assortment of fresh smoked meats and sides will provide our guests with delicious and craveable meal options,” said Marti Sunderlin, VP of fresh merchandising. “This product assortment is exclusively ours and is created using our own Four Brothers Barbecue sauces and made fresh daily.”
Many of the company’s stores have an in-store smoker, which adds to the experience when a guest is shopping in the store as the smells of hardwood smoke will carry through the store.
Coborn’s Inc. is a 101-year-old employee-owned grocery retailer with nearly 10,000 employees and 66 grocery stores across Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin and Michigan under the Coborn’s, Cash Wise Foods, Marketplace Foods, Hornbacher’s and Tadych’s Marketplace Foods banners.
