Rancher’s Premium Smokehouse Goes Big with New Brisket Cheddar Rope Sausage at Sam’s Club

Fast-growing Texas brand expands beyond its signature links with a new rope sausage format featuring bold, smoky brisket and rich cheddar cheese.

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rancher’s Premium Smokehouse is going bigger at Sam’s Club. The fastest growing national sausage brand in the country is debuting its exclusive Brisket Cheddar Rope Sausage at Sam’s Club. A 36-ounce smoked sausage is hitting Sam’s Club locations across the country beginning in October.

The launch marks two milestones for Rancher’s: its first-ever rope sausage and a brand-new flavor. Building on the rapid success of its signature smoked sausage links, Rancher’s is taking the bold smokehouse flavor that fueled its rapid growth and bringing it to an entirely new format, continuing the brand’s push to bring fresh ideas and excitement to the smoked sausage category, becoming a top five smoked sausage brand in the country.

The new Brisket Cheddar Rope builds on the flavor profile of Rancher’s fan-favorite Brisket Burnt Ends Smoked Sausage, pairing premium beef brisket with rich cheddar cheese for a savory, cheesy bite. The result is a rope sausage unlike anything else in the category, bringing together deep, smoky brisket flavor and rich, melty cheddar in a combination that is unmistakably Rancher’s. It is the latest example of the brand’s willingness to challenge convention and bring new energy to a category that has traditionally seen little innovation.

“Brisket is part of our DNA, so bringing that bold, smoky flavor to our first rope sausage felt like a natural next step,” said Lee Lyles, Partner at Rancher’s Premium Smokehouse. “We’re grateful to partner with Sam’s Club to bring it to consumers nationwide.”

“The momentum behind Rancher’s shows us consumers are ready for something new in smoked sausage,” said Roland Dickey Jr., CEO of Rancher’s Premium Smokehouse. “We’re excited to keep building on that growth with products that challenge what people expect from the category.”

The fully cooked sausage is incredibly versatile, and can be sliced and served as an appetizer, grilled for game day, added to breakfast dishes, incorporated into weeknight meals, or served alongside classic barbecue sides. Its larger format makes it an easy option for feeding families and groups while still delivering the premium smoked flavor Rancher’s is known for.

The new Rancher’s Premium Smokehouse Brisket Cheddar Rope Sausage is available in a 36-ounce package at select Sam’s Club locations beginning in October.
