Bridgford Foods\u00a0<\/strong>pioneered the manufacture and sale of frozen bread dough to supermarkets and institutional customers, beginning in 1962. The first products were made at the Anaheim meat-processing facility.\u00a0 Additional frozen bread plants were added in Dallas in 1968 and 1985, and in Statesville, North Carolina in 1996.\u00a0 In 1975, we acquired our Chicago meat processing facility, which has a heavy emphasis on dry and semi-dry sausage, as well as beef jerky. In 2017, we acquired an additional processing plant in Chicago, and we completed the transition to this new facility in late 2020.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.bridgford.com\/corporate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Bridgford-AMI1997Award.jpg\")
