Schnucks replacing Boar’s Head at deli counter with new meat and cheese vendor
Deli items from a new partner are coming to Schnucks, replacing Boar’s Head products at all store locations.
The addition Dietz & Watson’s premium meats, artisan cheeses and other products will start in early November with a full deli conversion by early December, stated a press release.
“We’ve listened to feedback from our customers and believe that Dietz & Watson’s broad assortment of premium deli options will be exactly what customers are looking for as they shop with us to feed their families,” Schnucks Vice President of Deli & Prepared Foods Geoff Wexler stated in the release.
“With this new partnership, our customers can look forward to delicious, high-quality meats, artisan cheeses, snacks and condiments.”
Boar’s Head Provisions Co. Inc. issued a recall for meat and poultry products, which included its liverwurst products, due to listeria contamination in July. The recall included goods produced between May 10 and July 29, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture website.
Schnucks will launch new marketing and promotional campaigns as these new options are added to the deli. Employees will also receive training and learn about the products.
“As a fellow family-owned business, Dietz & Watson shares the same emphasis on quality, and we are thrilled to be partnering with Schnucks to offer their customers a selection of premium meats and artisan cheeses in the deli,” stated Dietz & Watson CEO Louis Eni.
