Stouffer’s history

The Stouffer name has long been associated with the food business. Starting with a creamery company in 1898, the family would eventually open its first Stouffer’s restaurant in 1924 and began selling the frozen meals now associated with the brand in 1954. In 1973, Nestle acquired Stouffer’s.
