Saladino's Inc

Saladino's was founded in 1944 by Don Saladino.^[3] Saladino gained experience working in his father's grocery store in Fresno, California.^[4] Saladino combined his meatpacking experience with family recipes from the Calabrese region in Italy to form the Saladino's Sausage Company.^[5] Initially, Saladino focused primarily on distributing sausage products to local grocery stores. In 1980, Don's son, Craig Saladino, joined the business, and the company expanded their products to include a wider variety of sausage and meat products while also beginning distribution to local pizzerias and restaurants.^{[citation needed]}

In 2001, Saladino's moved to a larger facility located further north in Fresno.^{[citation needed]} Their largest customer is the restaurant chain Subway.^{[citation needed]} In that same year, they also expanded their operations to include additional warehouses located in Ontario, California, and West Sacramento, California.^{[citation needed]} They operate in California, as well as parts of Arizona, Nevada, Idaho, and Oregon.^{[citation needed]}
