Garner Foods is a mid-sized food and beverage manufacturer headquartered in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The company traces its origins to 1929 when a family venture produced a distinctive hot sauce that began reaching restaurants and grocery stores, helping it establish a footprint in the Southeast. In 2004 Garner Foods expanded its portfolio by acquiring Green Mountain Gringo, adding salsa and tortilla chips to its offerings. The business operates within the food- and beverage-manufacturing industry, serving both food-service and retail customers with packaged products. Garner Foods has earned industry recognition in recent years, including the 2023 Family Business Heritage Award and the 2025 Local Supplier of the Year honor from CFIC. Leadership changes were announced with the chief financial officer transitioning to president and chief executive officer effective January 2025. The company also engaged in a strategic partnership in 2023 with United Esports LLC, reflecting marketing and brand-building efforts around its Texas Pete hot sauce line.
