Food Storage Simplified

As Mothers Michelle & Anissa are always looking for ways to save a little money while providing their families with good tasting and nutritious meals. The side benefit would be making a little extra money too! Both Michelle & Anissa have joined with Shirley J to bring you some great restaurant quality products, that have great taste, but, also serve as great food storage items.

A Little Information & History of the Shirley J Brand should be shared…

Shirley J Products was founded in the late 1970’s by a gentleman named Don Smith. Don was a food scientist and developer who worked for Safeway in California. In the late 70’s, he took early retirement to begin a business selling some of his creations. He moved to Salt Lake City and began to sell his products, principally to institutional customers, under the banner “Shirley J Products”. Shirley J, as you may know, is the name of his wife.

Don began to call on institutional accounts such as churches, schools, and restaurants. Don’s first big institutional customer was due in large part to Mike Olsen. This was 15 years ago or so. About 4 years ago Don passed away. His wife was too old to do anything with the business so she sold it to one of their employees, Joye Wadsworth, who ran it for the past 5 years.

This past November, Mike was given the suggestion to call Joye to explore the possibility of purchasing the business. On January 30, 2009, Kelly Olsen, Mike Olsen and Shon Whitney officially purchased the business. Our mission is to empower the families of America to rediscover the lost art of home cooking, while stretching their food dollar with institutional quality products that taste great, are easy to use and redefine the traditional notion of food storage.

Shirley J Products: Simple & Universal

Universal. Shirley J’s  Signature Cream Soup  base is the key component in thousands of recipes making it the perfect universal ingredient in cooking.  Chefs immediately noticed that this product had almost unlimited application.  A few days ago, Mike Olsen took a few minutes to record just a partial list of the applications of this product. . . he camp up with over 200 and noted that he was just scratching the surface.

Simple. Shirley J’s products are the definition of simplicity.  UCS is brought to life with water only!  This simplicity takes the worry out of cooking.  Fewer mistakes, less complication makes better meals and reduces costs.

Family Friendly. Shirley J’s UCS does not curdle, break down or separate.  It is durable and remains in perfect condition even after being re-heated time and time again.

Perfect for Left-overs. Shirley J’s UCS, All Purpose Seasoning and Slow Cooker seasonings make the perfect ingredients, used together or separately, to stretch left overs into fabulous meals.

Economy. Shirley J’s products are designed to help stretch the food budget dollar.  Universality means you need fewer ingredients to make meals.  Simplicity means fool-proof results. . . less waste.  Family Friendly also means less waste because your dishes can be refridgerated, frozen and reheated again and again with “fresh made” results.  Shirley J products also make your left overs into fabulous meals meaning less waste.  You are only limited by your imagination.
