The World Famous Wishek Sausage 

Have you ever seen the lines that form when Wishek Sausage is in the house? I have, and it's nothing short of extraordinary. My first run-in with Wishek Sausage was at a live broadcast from the Scheels parking lot in Bismarck during "Grill Fest". People were lining up half an hour before the event started just to buy some fresh cuts from Wishek Sausage. That speaks volumes that you truly have something special that communities all around North Dakota truly love. Wishek Sausage frequently takes it to the show on the road and is present at events all across the state.

Wishek Sausage is Expanding

Now, Wishek Sausage will be even more readily available to North Dakotans, and soon all across the Midwest. According to a post on Wishek Sausage's Facebook page, they will soon be wholesale-ready and will be available all across North Dakota and across the upper Midwest. Places like Minnesota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Montana, and Iowa. This means Wishek Sausage will soon be available at many of your favorite grocery stores in Bismarck-Mandan.

On the Move

Wishek Sausage will also be moving to a brand new building that will pay tribute to their Stan's Red Owl roots. Wishek Sausage promises nothing is changing with this move. Same family of owners, same secret recipe (I need to get this, asking for a friend), same authentic, small-batch sausage products that their customers have come to know and love. You can see the concept for their new building here.

A Promise Kept

In the Wishek Sausage Facebook post, they promised their customers two years ago to better serve you, and now they are making good on that promise. Wishek Sausage has been around for sixty years.
