Brand Castle, LLC Acquires Sisters’ Gourmet Company

February 20, 2017

Products add a sophisticated flavor profile and iconic package design to the Food Gift platform

Brand Castle, LLC, manufacturer of interactive baking kits and gingerbread house kits, announced today it has acquired Sisters’ Gourmet Company, distinguished creator of layered baking mixes in mason jars. The acquisition, which continues Brand Castle’s expansion mode, will leverage the company’s brand equity and expertise in creating distinctive food gift items to encourage overall growth.

Brand Castle, who is searching for additional acquisitions, plans to retain the Sisters’ Gourmet Company brand and grow the product line. In addition to expanding through distribution and SKUs, Brand Castle plans to cross sell its own gourmet mixes to the Sisters’ Gourmet customers base.

Sisters’ Gourmet Company owners, Rob & Lisa Sorensen, will remain with the company and serve as consultants through a transition period.  The Sorensen’s success story is well-known in the specialty food industry.  Sisters’ Gourmet has made baking easy and convenient since 1995 when sisters Lisa and Suzy began to offer their delicious, simple to prepare one-bowl gourmet recipes. Along the way, the company has grown from offering two varieties in Mason jars to offering a wide array of decadent gourmet desserts across several different product lines in numerous packaging options. Much pride is taken in knowing each mix is made by hand in the USA.

“We are honored and proud to have acquired a company with both a significant brand leadership position and history,” said Jimmy Zeilinger, CEO of Brand Castle. “Sisters’ Gourmet Company fits perfectly within our expansion plans and we look forward to future growth.”
