"We are very excited to expand Wolferman's and grow with our valued customers while maintaining our heritage and promise of delivering exceptional gourmet food experiences throughout the U.S.," said Jackie Ardrey, Senior Vice President of Merchandising. "As a brand, we have always prided ourselves on offering customers the most enjoyable experience, which starts when they peruse our website or catalogues. By elevating the photography, the design of the website, and our product selection and customization capabilities, we are allowing our customers an even more exceptional experience."

Encouraging customization the Wolferman's way, new add-on opportunities are now available with items such as peanut butters, curds, jalapeño jellies, and premium coffees. Designed to enhance any occasion and deliver yearlong enjoyment in entertaining, each gourmet offering is crafted with the attention to quality that Wolferman's has been known for since 1888.

Founded by Louis Wolferman with the opening of Wolferman's corner grocery store in Kansas City, Missouri, in 1888, the Wolferman's brand has proudly purveyed fine baked goods for over 100 years. It was then that Louis adopted the brand's slogan, "Good Things to Eat," insisting that only the finest products with the best possible ingredients be made available to his customers. While Wolferman's® English muffins are considered the brand's most recognized specialty food item, they are most certainly only the beginning. Wolferman's also bakes the finest tea breads and coffee cakes, accompanied by delicious toppings, elegant desserts, premium teas, and specially blended coffee.
