As Jimmy Buffett hits the stage tonight at the DTE Energy Music Theatre in Clarkston, a new line of his Margaritaville salsa is hitting stores.
Garden Fresh Gourmet in Ferndale signed a deal in December to be the exclusive producer and distributor of Buffett’s Margaritaville Foods’ new line of salsa, guacamole, hummus, tortilla chips and dips.
The company will produce 17 Margaritaville products, including four varieties of salsa. The company produces 22 types of Garden Fresh salsa.
Margaritaville is a $440-million brand, Zilko said. Margaritaville Foods was launched four years ago as the consumer and packaged goods division of Margaritaville Enterprise LLC, based in Orlando. Inspired by the Buffett song of the same name, Margaritaville Foods also sells frozen seafood, beer, tequila and margarita mix.
