Marie Callender’s
Marie Callender's is a dessert-oriented frozen food company. The brand was founded by a woman with the same name who started a small pie company out of her home. Callender's husband and son eventually bought the firm wholesale in 1948, allowing Marie to make over a hundred pies each day at one time.
Marie Callender's is a tiny hospitality firm based in San Diego, California, with only 175 workers and $4.2 million in yearly revenue.
Marie Callender launched its first restaurant outlets in the 1960s, expanding the menu to include supper options. These menu items evolved into the frozen Marie Callender products that may now be found in supermarkets. These product rights were sold to Conagra Foods for $140 million in 1994 and have remained one of the country's leading frozen meal trademarks.
