Overview
Kinder's makes barbecue sauces, seasonings, rubs, and marinades for consumers and operates California deli/butcher shops plus nationally distributed packaged foods. Its products are sold in major retailers, building the brand since 1946 after the 1988 recipe helped it scale. It differentiates itself through a long family heritage paired with a dual business model of local restaurants and broad CPG distribution, now backed by Kaulig Capital. Its goal is to grow the brand and expand distribution while keeping its family-owned roots.
