We’re so pleased to continue to serve you in locations throughout our region.

Dear Ukrop’s food fans,

We are very appreciative of the many requests for Ukrop’s items, including some in-store prepared foods such as fried chicken, breakfast pizza, potato wedges, and numerous other Ukrop’s items that will no longer be available at food retailers as Martin’s stores have closed. Today, the depth and breadth of our offerings it is up to the food retailers buying our products, as each retailer has its own approach to attracting and pleasing customers.

At Ukrop’s Homestyle Foods, we will continue to do our best to satisfy our retail customers and the thousands of Richmond area consumers who are very loyal to Ukrop’s fresh foods. We are pleased that most Richmond Kroger stores carry hundreds of items and that our popular decorated cakes and specialty cakes may be picked up at Richmond Kroger stores.

In addition, Wegmans offers several dozen chilled prepared foods and bakery items; Publix offers more than 30 kitchen items and a handful of bakery items; and Libbie Market is another fine retail customer of Ukrop’s Homestyle Foods.  Also, our White House Rolls are available at BJ’s, Aldi, and The Fresh Market.  View the list of the foods we make and the retailer offering those products: Chilled Prepared Foods and Baked Goods.

While some have suggested we operate a retail store, we believe that we can best serve our customers and satisfy the most consumers by having our line of products at multiple convenient locations throughout our region. In addition, our products can be purchased through Catering by Ukrop’s for pick up at our Westmoreland location. Catering by Ukrop’s offers options for celebrations, bereavements, birthdays, weddings, and special occasions.

Thanks very much for your loyalty to Ukrop’s kitchen and bakery products!

Gratefully,

Bobby

Bring the beach to you with these festive cupcakes… A great (and easy) cupcake decorating activity for the whole family!

Ingredients: 

Ukrop’s Yellow Batter Cupcakes Iced White

Graham Crackers

Teddy Grahams

Swedish Fish

AirHeads

Life Savers Gummies

Betty Crocker Candy Shop Decors Blue Rock Candy

Betty Crocker Decorating Decors Blue Sugar

Blue Gummi Sharks

Steps:

Crush up Graham Crackers to resemble sand.

Sprinkle the “sand” on half of the cupcake.

Add the Blue Rock Candy to the other half of the cupcake for the ocean. All of the pieces may not stick, so you might have to push some into the icing.

To make even more waves, sprinkle the Betty Crocker Decorating Decors Blue Sugar on the side with the blue rock candy.

Now you can really get creative! Break up an AirHead for a beach towel and place it on the sand.

Then place a Teddy Graham on the Beach Towel.

Go fish! Add Swedish Fish to the Ocean.

Or you can put a Gummi Shark in the ocean, instead of the fish.

You can back back a few steps and instead of the beach towel, place a Teddy Graham into a Life Saver. Or you can do both!

Mix and match them together. Have fun and be creative. The best part… They taste even better! Enjoy.

Meet Ukrop’s Associate Carmella Cramer!

Like many here, Ukrop’s has been in Carmella’s life for a long time. Starting in 1982, Carmella was a cashier, but not too long after she moved to the bakery, became the bakery manager. The journey of Carmella’s roles at Ukrop’s seem endless. She attributes her success to her ability to learn quickly and grasp the opportunities equally as fast. To attest to these attributes, she became one of Ukrop’s first field representatives for our line of Chilled Prepared Foods. She is proud that during this time she had the opportunity to roll out our first ten items in the chilled prepared food line. Some of these items are still very popular Ukrop’s staples; such as London Broil and Triple Cheese Macaroni and Cheese!

Once we began to expand our food line, Carmella’s role changed to Category Manager where she worked with manufacturing and retail stores. In this role, she focused on new item rollouts, in-store training and programs involving food. Currently, her title resides as Food Service Manager where she acts as the liaison for customers who purchase our products. In addition, she deals with product handling and quality issues that may occur.

Carmella notes many great opportunities working with Ukrop’s that she feels she would not have gotten anywhere else. “It takes a family to do what we do,” Carmella says reflecting on her time at Ukrop’s. Carmella took that literally as both of her children worked at Ukrop’s through high school and college.

Other than being a friendly face to Ukrop’s customers, Carmella shared that her passions lie with family, friends, and gathering! On a relaxing day she would love nothing more than to play with her grandchildren and work in her garden.

What is Carmella’s Favorite Food? Spinach Supreme!

Memorial Day Weekend is almost here and July 4th is right around the corner… To show our patriotism, we put together these festive cupcakes. They only take a few minutes, plus they taste great and look good, too!

Ingredients:

• Ukrop’s Cupcakes
• Blueberries
• Twizzlers Pull’n’Peel

Steps:

1. Begin by peeling a part the pieces of Twizzlers. You can separate them into one single string, or two.

2. Next, cut the strings of Twizzlers into smaller pieces.

3. Begin placing blueberries on the left side of the cupcake. (We washed the berries prior to placing them on the cupcake.)

4. Place berries until the left side is full!

5. Now, begin placing the small pieces of Twizzlers on the right size.

6. Place the small pieces of Twizzlers on the right side until the side is full. Then, voila!

7. Enjoy!

Working in the food industry her whole life, Shift Supervisor Robin Frasier says that Ukrop’s was meant to complete the circle. She even knew that she wanted to work in a production environment and thought that the choice could not be more perfect. Robin got her wish and was offered a job in 1994 – a job she almost turned down because she was required to wear a hair net! She started off bagging five pound bags of product and it was not long before she became a Level II in 1995. During this time, Robin also tried her hand at management planning to gain more experience and knowledge. She did not stop there as she then started for filling in for Assistant Production Managers when they would go on vacation. Robin found her niche and decided to go full time in the role. 

Pictured is Quality Manager Bart Shoaf and Robin Frasier in the Ukrop’s Kitchen.

These opportunities have led her to her current job title of shift supervisor. She ensures that the production of our food meets our quality standards. Robin notes that the best part of her job is interacting with people and having the feeling of a family environment every day. She is also fortunate to feel the recognition and appreciation of her efforts by receiving numerous awards.

Other than food and her job, Robin is inspired by her family and trying to spend as much time with them as she can. Her older brother, Greg, lives in Iowa and surprised him this past December at his wedding! And when she is outside of her hairnet, she loves to try new restaurants and spending time with friends. In addition, she has her own getaway in Lake Gaston where she enjoys boating and catching some sun.

Robin’s Favorite Ukrop’s Foods: Tuna Salad, Mrs. Marshall’s Potato Salad and Rainbow Cookies
