Bridgford Foods (NASDAQ:BRID) is a California‐based food company specializing in the development, production and distribution of refrigerated and frozen packaged food products. Through its core operations, the company supplies a wide array of protein‐rich offerings—including beef, pork, poultry and meat snack items—alongside prepared bakery goods and specialty snack foods. Its customers span major supermarket chains, convenience stores, club outlets and quick‐service restaurant (QSR) operators across North America.
Since its incorporation in the mid‐1990s, Bridgford Foods has expanded both organically and through targeted acquisitions to broaden its product portfolio and geographic reach. The company’s brands include private‐label lines as well as national and regional consumer brands that cater to on‐the‐go shoppers, foodservice operators and value‐oriented retail channels. Bridgford’s snack portfolio features pepperoni sticks, summer sausage and high‐protein bars, while its bakery division offers ready‐to‐bake biscuit dough, rolls and specialty pastries under established house names.
Bridgford Foods operates manufacturing facilities in California, Texas and the Pacific Northwest, employing a combination of in‐house production and co-packing partnerships to maintain freshness and consistent quality. The company’s distribution network leverages direct‐store delivery systems in key metropolitan markets, supported by third‐party logistics providers serving national and export channels. International sales, handled through its export division, address demand in Asia and Latin America for American‐style snack meats and value‐added bakery products.
Bridgford’s executive leadership team brings together food‐industry veterans in operations, research and development, and supply‐chain management. Under the direction of its Chief Executive Officer and Board of Directors, the company continues to pursue growth through new product innovation, enhanced manufacturing efficiencies and expanded retail and foodservice partnerships. Headquartered in Northridge, California, Bridgford Foods maintains a strategic focus on health‐oriented formulations, convenience solutions and reliable distribution to meet evolving consumer preferences.
