ANAHEIM, Calif. — Villa Roma Sausage Company, Southern California’s number one fresh Italian Sausage manufacturer, announced their partnership with Angels Baseball to bring their new half pound sausages from the stadium to the supermarkets. The Angels recently introduced several of the company’s new sausage products during games at Angel Stadium and sales have exceeded all expectations. Due to this success, the Angels and Villa Roma are making these products available to their fans to enjoy anytime.
The first products to be introduced are the Halo Grillers, a hot Italian sausage, and Rally Brats, a pork bratwurst. The sausages are fresh and natural and contain no preservatives, nitrates or MSG. Villa Roma Sausages are produced locally in Ontario, Calif.
“We are very pleased with the success of our partnership with Villa Roma Sausage Company,” said Angels president Dennis Kuhl. “Our fans enjoyed Villa Roma sausage products during the games at our stadium and, with this new venture into supermarkets, they can continue to do so even during the off-season.”
The new half pound products are expected to be available in supermarkets such as Albertson’s this month and carried throughout the year. They will also be sold at Costco. At Angels Stadium, they are served with peppers and onions on a bun. It is expected that these products will mainly be consumed in a similar fashion – grilled or cooked indoors, but served on a bun for a unique, novel and filling meal.
“The Angels wanted something special, so together we created the half pounder to satisfy the fans,” said Ed Lopes, president of Villa Roma Sausage Company. “Also, we already sell our standard sausages to the supermarkets in the Southland, so our distribution for these new products is already in place. When talking to some of the supermarket chains, we found that they are excited about these unique products and plan to carry them as soon.”
