BOSTON, May 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Mexico has truly welcomed UNO® with open arms as the company's retail arm, Uno Foods, gained access to that country's consumers hungering for authentic deep dish by gaining distribution at Sam's Clubs® throughout the country. Sam's Club will carry UNO's signature deep dish pizza along with artisan thin crust varieties and other popular items.
Frank Guidara, CEO of UNO, said, "Sam's Club is exactly the kind of retail partner we seek and appreciate: they're committed to excellence, hold rigorous quality standards and are renowned for the value they offer. Further, the language of UNO is understood around the globe."
"The retail and foodservice sides of our business are just as critical as our restaurant business. Breaking bread with family and friends is important and we like that UNO can be enjoyed virtually anywhere, offering the consumer what they want, when and in the way they want it," continued Guidara. "Whether out of-this-world deep dish or any of our other products, people love our food. And if the sales in Sam's Clubs across Mexico are any indication, the folks south of the border are already fluent in 'UNO'."
