Fraboni Wholesale Distr

What Fraboni Wholesale Distr does

Fraboni Wholesale Distr (legally Fraboni.com, Inc., d/b/a Fraboni's, Fraboni Sausage Co., and Fraboni's Wholesale) is a privately held specialty meat products company headquartered at 108 Owen Rd, Monona, Wisconsin, with operational roots in Hibbing, Minnesota. The company sells Italian-style porketta, fresh and smoked sausages (52 SKUs), cured hams and bacon, traditional pasties, a line of 32 sausage-making seasonings, and branded apparel, anchored by the "Fraboni Sausage Co." trademark.

The business is built around a WooCommerce storefront on WordPress, with Google reCAPTCHA for spam prevention, Elementor for content management, and Sucuri for security. Order fulfillment accommodates perishable-item shipping through structured weekly cutoffs (orders Wednesday/Thursday or before 3:00 PM CST Friday ship Monday; Saturday/Sunday or before 3:00 PM CST Monday ship Tuesday; before 3:00 PM CST Tuesday ship Wednesday), with separate holiday cutoffs for out-of-state versus Minnesota deliveries to manage transit time. Payment is accepted via Visa, Mastercard, and Discover; phone ordering is available at (218) 263-8991.

Fraboni's revenue model is direct-to-consumer transactional, with one-time unit purchases priced per SKU (e.g., $6.99 for porketta sausage, $35.70 for a whole porketta, $9.50–$13.75 for seasonings). The primary customer segment is individual consumers buying for family meals, grilling, and holiday occasions; a secondary segment comprises restaurants across Minnesota ordering breakfast links and specialty sausages. A wholesale distribution program ("Fraboni's Wholesale") is advertised as "COMING SOON" on the main navigation, signaling a planned expansion into B2B and foodservice distribution, alongside an existing custom meat processing service for business customers.
