Hormel Foods Foresees a $50 Million-to-$100 Million New Product Franchise

9/15/2013

Hormel Foods has introduced Rev Wraps, a teen boy-targeted meat and cheese sandwich wrap. “Some of our better new product franchises have been even in the $50 million to $100 million range,” says the company’s Jeffrey Ettinger. “We at least expect this item to be in that type of range. But I would not at all put that as the ceiling.”

There are currently eight varieties, with four additional items debuting later this fall. It is available in 70% to 80% of U.S. grocers, with most retailers slotting six to eight SKUs.
