How do you sell something like a very good soup to a local store? -

Well, You can t be making your very good soup in your home kitchen or any ktichen that isn t certifed and approved by your local Department of Health. You are not allowed to sell food you prepare at home, except under limited circumstances, and no big food chain is going to buy your soup if you can t provide proof of certification. If you make the soup in a certified commercial kitchen you can try marketing it in the fashion mentioned by the previous answerer.

I work for the Kroger Chain of stores. The chain includes such grocery stores as Dillons, Kroger, Pay Less, King Soopers, Smiths, JayC, Fred Meyer, Baker s, City Market, Food 4 Less, Gorbes, Fry s, Hilander, Scotts, QFC, and Owen s. If you want to sell a really good soup to a local store all you would have to do is call up the corporate headquarters; ours is in indiana, And talk to a merchandising head. A few tips before you call. 1) they are going to want to know what your selling2) Why you want to sell it at their stores3) how you plan to mass produce it4) your sales plan5) and your distribution plansif you can answer these and maybe a few more they might have, your product could go up for a board discussion and if approved you might possible be eligible for a partnership with our chain.
