Fairfield Gourmet Food Corporation Acquires Foxtail Foods

Fairfield Gourmet Food Corporation, the parent company of David’s Cookies, announces the acquisition of Foxtail Foods, a manufacturer of desserts. The addition of Foxtail Foods product line selections to David’s Cookies existing portfolio will enable Fairfield Gourmet Foods to position as a one-stop-shop for bakery and pastry items in the foodservice, in-store bakery, frozen grocery and convenience store segments.

Foxtail Foods’ Southern Ohio production facility location will further expand “Fairfield Gourmet Foods” national distribution channels. Since 1986, Foxtail Foods has been known for its high-quality desserts and is an exclusive supplier to Perkins Restaurant & Bakery and Marie Callender’s Restaurant & Bakery. They have also built a brand presence in foodservice under the Foxtail brand.

Foxtail Foods operates a 120,000sqf facility in Fairfield, Ohio and will continue production at this location. The company will now have full access to David’s Cookies industry experience and its state of the art production facilities in Cedar Grove, NJ, Fairfield, NJ and Longwood, FL. This will enhance Foxtail Foods production capacity, thereby giving its customers greater flexibility and product variety.

“We are excited at this opportunity to expand David’s Cookies production and distribution footprint to the Midwest. Pies will make a great addition to our already well-rounded portfolio. We are especially excited to provide our customers with the ability to offer their patrons freshly baked pies in addition to freshly baked cookies. David’s Cookies is committed to the continued expansion and upgrade of Foxtail Foods state of the art manufacturing facility. David’s Cookies and Foxtail Foods have always been committed to offering their customers spectacular tasting, consistently fresh, and innovative varieties of desserts made from the finest ingredients. The combination of the two companies will ensure that this commitment will never waiver,” says Ari Margulies, president of David’s Cookies.

The acquisition is expected to close by the end of October.
