Ben Lipphardt, senior manager of operations at Hofmann, said, "Our German Franks and Cheddar Franks are very popular items and bacon cheddar products are well-liked in general by consumers, so it made sense to extend the product line by adding the Bacon Cheddar Franks. We hit a home run with this one."
