Lettieri’s was founded in 1994 in Hopkins, Minnesota. Over the course of eleven years, we have amassed a team of industry leaders from all facets of food manufacturing – including chefs, nutritional specialists, inspectors, management and marketing experts. It prides itself in being an entrepreneurial-spirited company that focuses on the development of unique and innovative hand-held products for the food service industry.
Products range from a variety of breakfast sandwiches, stuffed baguettes and authentic calzones, gourmet sandwiches including a hamburger, cheeseburger, chicken filet sandwich, a BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich and several sausage products enrobed in bread called "Wrap-Dogs!™". The list continues to grow as new products are added in response to changes in the consumer palate. Ciabatta Squares Breakfast Sandwiches and QuickStix™ Stuffed Breadsticks are testament to the changes in the industry and consumer taste profiles. With our niche being convenience, all the food items can be applied to our customers’ foodservice capabilities such as convection oven baking, roller-grills, warmers and microwaves ovens.
Lettieri's customers include a wide variety of businesses including most petroleum companies, several vending companies, and other foodservice outlets. Lettieri's products are currently represented in more than 40,000 convenience stores throughout the United States! In November 2004, Lettieri’s opened a state-of-the art production and R & D facility in Shakopee, MN. The new plant is a nearly 60,000 sq. ft. facility, specially equipped with an innovative research & development kitchen - the "beating heart of Lettieri’s" - one that brings innovative and high-quality food products to market. Teaming Up for Great Taste. Lettieri's has welcomed a new member to its family of great taste. Recently acquired by Hot Stuff Foods®, Lettieri's will now provide more fast food brands within the convenience store industry than ever. Offering portable, high-quality products, both companies now feature established breakfast, lunch and roller grill solutions. The Lettieri's Food To GoTM kiosk complements this offering, providing a foodservice system for smaller c-stores with minimal space requirements and low start-up costs. Through this partnership, Lettieri's now offers foodservice options for every c-store, customer and daypart, ensuring its family tradition of great taste will continue to grow. Lettieri’s operates as a 100% USDA facility with an on-sight inspection staff surveying all facets of production. All products are scrutinized under stiff and defined guide lines to ensure product integrity and overall quality. The credo at Lettieri’s has always been "big enough to produce, yet small enough to listen and react to customer’s needs". |
