Stonewall Kitchen
looks to expand
nationally
B y J e n n i f e r V a n A l l e n
S
ince Stonewall Kitchen was launched
24 years ago, it has grown into an
iconic Maine brand, as ubiquitous as
L.L.Bean or Tom's of Maine.
Now, the maker of specialty jams, dips,
sauces, seasonings and other products is
looking to spread the success it's had in
New England nationwide. Eight months
after the founders announced plans to
retire, with a new CEO and an infusion
of cash from a New York-based private
equity firm, the York-based company
says it will focus on growing its wholesale
business and sending signature products
to more markets across the nation.
