the price*s story
Tradition Has
Never Tasted
So Good
The story of Price*s Cheese starts in Ft. Worth, Texas. It was during a time of potluck barbeques and card parties, when friends were greeted with cold drinks and sandwiches, and hospitality reigned supreme. It was then Mildred perfected her rich pimento cheese spread recipe, and her husband had a delicious and profitable idea.
A Recipe
For Success
While unemployed Weldon, Mildred’s husband, was traveling through Odessa, Texas when he noticed Orr’s Ready Foods in all the grocery stores. He met with Mr. Orr and sold the idea of selling his wife’s tangy pimento cheese sandwiches at grocery stores in the Ft. Worth area.
National
Distribution
With continued success, Price*s sells to Gerber Cheese Co., a division of Nestea, for an impressive million dollars. And finally, Mildred’s famous pimento cheese spread could be tasted and enjoyed nationwide.
Selling off
The Shelves
Encouraged by the sandwich sales, Mildred and Weldon decided to package their cheese spread for sale in grocery stores. It was an immediate success.
A Rise In
Pimento Cheese
Once only a southern staple, pimento cheese goes mainstream. From pimento cheese biscuits, elevated sandwiches, enticing cheesy appetizers and even desserts, chefs and recipe developers across the US serve up more and more ways to enjoy pimento cheese spread.
