“Our Walmart expansion is a direct response to growing demand,” said Shayla Bell, VP of purchasing and retail for Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants. “People are craving real, honest-to-goodness smoked meats and Rancher’s delivers just that. Whether you grill them up for game day or slice them into your favorite dish, these sausages bring that Texas barbecue spirit home.”
“Rancher’s Premium is a natural extension of our brand’s core promise – real, pit-smoked flavor made with care and tradition,” said Laura Rea Dickey, CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants. “It reflects everything our guests love about Dickey’s in a convenient, high-quality product they can bring into their kitchens. We’re proud to see it thrive at retail and especially proud to grow our presence with Walmart.”
