House of Webster

What House of Webster does

House of Webster is a privately held gourmet food manufacturer founded in 1934 by Roy and Evelynn Webster in the Ozarks region, operating from a single SQF-certified production facility at 1013 N 2nd St, Rogers, Arkansas. The company produces jams, jellies, preserves, fruit spreads, fruit butters, relishes, salsas, mustards, syrups, BBQ sauces, and pickled products using a library of more than 100 tested recipes, and it also maintains a legacy line of vintage stove replacement parts. The business combines B2B private label and contract manufacturing services with direct-to-consumer retail through a Shopify storefront, a physical gift shop in Rogers, and a wholesale portal serving hundreds of independent retailers, farm markets, and national specialty shops nationwide.

The company monetizes across five revenue streams: full-service private label manufacturing (recipe development, production, packaging, and in-house graphics and labeling); contract manufacturing for brands with existing formulations; direct product sales via e-commerce and the Rogers storefront; wholesale and bulk orders through a dedicated B2B portal; and corporate gifting solutions. Retail unit pricing spans $3.00 to $7.95 per jar, gift packs run $30.95 to $70.95, custom pint assortments are priced at $34.95 (2-pint), $58.95 (4-pint), and $70.95 (6-pint), and digital gift cards are issued in $10, $25, $50, and $100 denominations. The portfolio is organized under sub-brands including Premium Select, Grandma's Pantry, Landmark Gift Packs, and a limited-edition 250th Anniversary Celebration Gift Set.

Distribution is multi-channel: a global Shopify-based e-commerce storefront, a domestic physical storefront in Rogers, AR (Monday-Saturday, 10am-5pm), a domestic wholesale portal (house-of-webster.azurewebsites.net), and global private label/contract manufacturing services marketed via a dedicated phone line (1-800-369-4641) and [email protected]. Marketing relies on organic social media presence across Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, TikTok, and YouTube. The company holds no disclosed institutional investors, has no parent organization, and shows no public-company signaling, indicating sustained family ownership. No AI/ML capabilities, public funding rounds, acquisitions, or notable executive hires are documented in available sources.
