Hey everyone,

As some people know and others may not, we acquired FriscoSpices last year, a company founded in 1928 that has historically sold its blended spices and seasonings to meat lockers and as private labeled products through restaurants and retailers nationwide, most of which you would know immediately if I mentioned them. We have been the "secret recipe" in major brands for years.

We are now moving the company to a new place in its history in the first stages of offering our award-winning seasonings and blends directly to consumers under our own brand name, both online and through local and national grocery chains.

I have never used my social networks for much, but I am now. As a passion project of mine, I'm designing a direct-to-consumer line and a grocery retail line of blended seasonings. I'm looking to put together a test market group to whom I can send blended seasonings. If you're interested, all I ask is that you use our products and provide genuine feedback on all of our offerings.

If you're up for being part of this exciting venture, just let me know in the comments or send me a message, and I'll get some seasonings headed your way. I truly appreciate your support and can't wait to hear what you think of our products!

Elevate every dish with the gourmet flavors of Frisco Brand's Signature Seasoning Blends, perfect for a wide range of culinary uses.
