Smucker’s Day Trip
Another day trip! These day trips are our vacation this year and I promise there are plenty more recipes to come. If you ever get a chance to visit Smucker’s in Orrville Ohio do it! It is where Smucker’s is based out of and I thought I would share pictures from what they have inside the store. I never leave here empty handed.
When you walk in, this is what you see.
Not only do they sell food products,
each season they showcase items like
these. I go here two times every year and
have never seen the same items twice.
This is the first time I have seen Tomato
Ketchup here so it may be a new product.
It won’t take me away from Heinz, the only kind I use.
A few clothes items.
These are socks!
An ice cream set
makes for a great gift.
This is my favorite part. They mix up some
of their products and have taste testing.
They will open any jar for you to taste
to see if you like it before buying it.
They even give out the recipes.
I love this one to use
for entertaining.
Did you know Dunkin Donuts
brand is licensed to Smucker’s
for packaged coffee products?
Smucker’s bought Folger’s Coffee from
Proctor & Gamble for $2.95 billion in
stock in 2002. It also owns Jiff Peanut
butter, Crisco and Hungry Jack.
There are these colorful glass
bottles in front of the window.
The jams and jelly’s fill an entire
wall below the colored bottles.
Milk-Bone is another product they sell
and they even have section for pets.
Different drink products.
Products you probably
didn’t even know they own.
Gift baskets are quite pricey but nice.
Last but not least, they will even
personalize your own jar label.
***************************
I did not receive any compensation
for this post. I just happen to love
this place and their products!

Very interesting Diane. I had no idea Smuckers owned so many different food companies.

They don’t own the companies but the license to certain products. It seems complicated but they buy and sell off different licenses to just certain products. We see items come and go in the store which can be disappointing if you go there for a certain item and they are no longer license to sell it!

That’s exactly the same thing we say. Since sleeping is a major issue for both us, being home is a major perk!

What a great place! Would love to visit one day. Didn’t know they owned Dunkin’ Donuts. Love the Smucker’s jams and jellies – we always buy the strawberry ones. Thanks for sharing!

They don’t own Dunkin Donuts but the Dunkin Donuts brand is licensed to Smucker’s for packaged coffee products. They are only involved with selling it in grocery stores, club stores etc. They have nothing to do with the coffee or products in the Dunkin Donut stores. Seems so complicated but they both must make money this way.

Right but we found out this visit they sold off their small bagged mixes such as Lemon Poppy Seed Bread. My mother in law buys that every time we go because she lives alone and it was the perfect size for her. She was so disappointed.

That’s a shame – I hate when companies change the product or eliminate it altogether after you’ve been buying it a long time.

I always enjoy stopping at places like that. I suppose one can never have too much jelly. That said, though Smucker’s Red Raspberry Preserves is my all-time favorite, between you and me, I wish they’d drop the high fructose corn syrup.

I agree! The Amish sell wonderful Jams and Jellies with so many unique flavors. In their defense Smucker’s does sell a jam like spread called Simply Fruit. I have not tried it but it looks good.
