Rancher’s Premium Smokehouse Launches Brisket Cheddar Rope Sausage at Sam’s Club
Rancher’s Premium Smokehouse is expanding its presence at Sam’s Club with the introduction of a new product designed to bring bold smokehouse flavor to consumers in a larger, more versatile format. The brand is launching its exclusive Brisket Cheddar Rope Sausage at Sam’s Club locations across the country beginning in October.
Packaged in a 36-ounce format, the new smoked sausage represents an important step in Rancher’s Premium Smokehouse’s continued expansion in the national sausage category. The launch introduces consumers to the brand’s first-ever rope sausage while also delivering an entirely new flavor combination centered around two ingredients closely associated with hearty smokehouse cooking: beef brisket and cheddar cheese.
The Brisket Cheddar Rope Sausage builds on the momentum of Rancher’s growing portfolio of smoked sausage products. The company has established its identity around bold flavors and premium smokehouse-inspired offerings, with its signature smoked sausage links helping drive rapid growth for the brand. By extending those flavors into a rope sausage format, Rancher’s is seeking to create additional occasions for consumers to enjoy smoked sausage at home.
The new product takes inspiration from the brand’s popular Brisket Burnt Ends Smoked Sausage. It combines premium beef brisket with rich cheddar cheese to create a savory flavor profile that blends smoky meat with a creamy, cheesy finish. According to the company, the combination is intended to deliver the distinctive smokehouse character Rancher’s consumers have come to associate with the brand while providing a new way to enjoy sausage.
The launch also reflects Rancher’s broader approach to innovation within the smoked sausage category. While smoked sausage remains a familiar staple for many households, the company is positioning its latest product around new flavor combinations and formats that can appeal to consumers looking for something different.
Rancher’s first rope sausage gives shoppers another option for serving the product at gatherings, family meals and casual occasions. The larger format is particularly suited to entertaining and group dining, while the fully cooked preparation allows consumers to incorporate the sausage into a wide variety of recipes without extensive preparation.
“Brisket is part of our DNA, so bringing that bold, smoky flavor to our first rope sausage felt like a natural next step,” said Lee Lyles, Partner at Rancher’s Premium Smokehouse. “We’re grateful to partner with Sam’s Club to bring it to consumers nationwide.”
The partnership with Sam’s Club provides Rancher’s with an opportunity to introduce the new product to shoppers across a broad national retail network. The 36-ounce package is designed to provide enough sausage for multiple serving occasions, making it suitable for households as well as consumers preparing food for parties, tailgating events and other gatherings.
Rancher’s Premium Smokehouse has continued to build its position in the sausage market by focusing on products that emphasize robust flavor and smokehouse-style preparation. The company describes itself as the fastest-growing national sausage brand in the country and says it has become a top-five smoked sausage brand.
The introduction of Brisket Cheddar Rope Sausage is the latest product expansion supporting that growth strategy. Rather than simply extending an existing product into a different package, Rancher’s is introducing both a new format and a new flavor profile with the Sam’s Club launch. The company sees this approach as an opportunity to bring additional excitement to the smoked sausage aisle.
“The momentum behind Rancher’s shows us consumers are ready for something new in smoked sausage,” said Roland Dickey Jr., CEO of Rancher’s Premium Smokehouse. “We’re excited to keep building on that growth with products that challenge what people expect from the category.”
One of the product’s key attributes is its versatility. Because the sausage is fully cooked, consumers can prepare it in a variety of ways depending on the occasion. It can be sliced and served as an appetizer, grilled for game day gatherings or incorporated into breakfast dishes. It can also be added to weeknight meals or paired with traditional barbecue sides.
For entertaining, the rope format offers flexibility for slicing and serving. Consumers can prepare the sausage as part of a snack spread, combine it with other barbecue favorites or use it as a centerpiece for casual gatherings. The larger 36-ounce package also makes it practical for serving families and groups.
The sausage can likewise be incorporated into everyday meals. It can be paired with eggs and breakfast potatoes, added to pasta or rice dishes, served alongside vegetables, or included in sandwiches and other quick meal options. Its smoked brisket and cheddar flavor is designed to provide a substantial flavor component without requiring complicated preparation.
The product’s connection to brisket is also central to Rancher’s brand identity. Beef brisket has become an increasingly recognizable element of American barbecue culture, and the company is using that association to differentiate the new sausage from more traditional smoked sausage offerings.
By combining brisket-inspired flavor with cheddar cheese, Rancher’s is extending the smokehouse experience into a convenient, fully cooked sausage format. The result is intended to appeal both to existing Rancher’s customers and to shoppers interested in exploring new sausage flavors.
The Sam’s Club launch is scheduled to begin in October, with the new Rancher’s Premium Smokehouse Brisket Cheddar Rope Sausage rolling out at select locations nationwide. The product will be available in a 36-ounce package.
With its first rope sausage, a new flavor combination and a national retail partnership, Rancher’s Premium Smokehouse is continuing its effort to expand its product portfolio and strengthen its position in the smoked sausage market. The Brisket Cheddar Rope Sausage brings together the brand’s focus on bold smokehouse flavors, convenient preparation and versatile serving options in a format designed for both everyday meals and larger occasions.
