Family-owned smoked sausage brand Rancher's Premium Smokehouse products are hitting shelves at Kroger Co. starting April 27, 2026. All of Rancher's products, including its Bacon Cheddar, Brisket Burnt Ends and Philly Cheesesteak flavors, are launching at Kroger, Fry’s and Smiths locations.

Rancher’s products are launching in all Kroger stores across Texas, along with all Fry’s grocery outlets in Arizona and Smith’s Food and Drug Stores in Nevada.

“Rancher’s was built on a commitment to doing things the right way by using my family’s barbecue techniques we’ve been perfecting since 1941,” said Roland Dickey Jr., chief executive officer for Rancher’s Premium Smokehouse. “Expanding into Kroger is an honor, as they are a valued partner who shares our passion for bringing exceptional, high-quality products to tables across America.”

Rancher’s uses traditional curing techniques and real hardwood smoke to create an authentic Texas barbecue experience. Each 12-ounce package includes four links.
