FRANKLIN, TN (June 15, 2010) – Known for their hearty roundup of award-winning ribs and cherrywood smoked meats, Puckett's Grocery & Restaurant has announced that the legendary barbeque sauce that makes their meat so delicious is on its way to becoming a fixture on everyone’s table. Puckett’s original and spicy barbeque sauce is now bottled and available for sale in-store and on their website at www.puckettsgrocery.com. The restaurant’s signature coffee, which is enjoyed by hundreds of faithful customers each week, is also now available for sale.
 
Since the grocery store turned restaurant started serving food in the early 90’s, the eatery’s original barbeque sauce quickly became a must-have with Puckett’s ribs, brisket, and other meats. The sauce is now available for a purchase price of $3.99 for a 12oz. bottle.
 
“We wanted to make our famous barbeque sauce available for all to enjoy and decided that we needed two sauces. First, a sweet Memphis style and second, a spicier, more robust sauce, for those wanting a bit of kick,” says Marshall.
 
Both sauces have already proven to be a hot commodity. “Our first shipment of 50 cases lasted just a little over 2 months. Quite frankly we thought that was about a 6-month supply! We just received our next 50 cases because it’s been a big hit with the locals as well as the tourists.”

The process to find the right company to make and bottle the sauce was rigorous, and lasted over a year, explains Marshall. “We decided on Allegro Foods in Paris, Tennessee. They are a local company, which is very important to Puckett’s. Plus, they currently make the marinade we use for our brisket. It was a perfect match.”
 
The package design represents Puckett’s country style and features the brand’s famous Leiper’s Fork photo of locals drinking coffee around one of the restaurants eclectic mismatched table and chairs. When asked what makes Puckett’s barbeque sauce so delicious, Marshall was quick to respond, “It’s secret.”
 
A local company was also used when packaging Puckett’s signature regular and decaf coffee. MST Coffee Roasters is a family-owned, direct-trade business located on Cannery Row in Nashville.
 
Marshall comments, “Their coffee is small batch roasted and fresh to order. They're great because what we really wanted was a good ol' classic cup of joe, and we were able to pick out our own specialty blend to get exactly what we wanted.”  Puckett's famous coffee is also available for sale in-store and on www.pucketsgrocery.com.
