"Mrs. Renfro's is ready to set tongues afire across Great Britain". ''Fort Worth Star-Telegram''.〕 == History == Renfro Foods was founded in 1940 as The George Renfro Food Company in the north Fort Worth, Texas garage of George and Arthurine Renfro, starting as a packaged spices and pepper sauce business. In 1948, the company bought a local syrup manufacturer and Dixieland Syrups soon had wide distribution throughout Texas grocery stores. Four years later, Renfro acquired the formulas of Gold Star Foods and reworked the ingredients to make them taste more like family recipes. Before long, the company entered the jelly, preserve, vinegar and chow-chow business as well. By 1963, company sales had more than quadrupled. In 1972, shortly after incorporating under its current name, Renfro Foods, Inc., the family purchased the recipes of Olé Foods, a Mexican-style hot sauce maker, and quickly made plans to ride the wave of interest in Mexican foods. Anticipating that customers' tastes were changing, they re-worked the basic taco sauce ingredients of Olé Foods, and created a richer and tastier salsa recipe. Following George's death in 1975, Arthurine and sons, Bill and Jack, led the company into its greatest growth period yet. Consumers’ love of hot and spicy foods was escalating, and the product line soon expanded from the original hot or mild sauces to a variety of picantes and medium-style sauces. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Renfro Foods」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
