Mama’s Creations, Inc., a national marketer and manufacturer of fresh deli prepared foods, announced it has acquired substantially all of the assets of Crown I Enterprises Inc. (“Crown”), a full-service manufacturer of value-added proteins and ready-to-eat meals and wholly owned subsidiary of Sysco Corporation.

Crown brings approximately $56 million in profitable annual revenue to Mama’s Creations based on results for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2025, increasing the company’s sales base by nearly 40% and significantly broadening its customer reach into strategic new accounts. It primarily serves ‘hard to break into’, premium retail partners who are not current Mama’s customers – complementing the company’s existing roster and opening new channels for potential growth.

The acquisition also adds new strategic capabilities such as a recently upgraded and expanded 42,000sq-ft USDA-certified production facility in Bay Shore, N.Y. – complete with significant incremental grill capacity on equipment Mama already runs – along with approximately 200 employees, which will expand Mama’s Creations’ production capacity and create enhanced ‘bench strength’ for management. Proximity to the company’s existing Farmingdale location, about 10 miles away, provides for production and warehousing efficiency in addition to management synergies.

While expected to be accretive, the core rationale is to build capabilities: new capacity on familiar equipment, instant access to premium customers, and aligned ‘Grandma Quality’ standards. Bringing Crown into the Mama’s family will allow best practice sharing, scale efficiencies and new opportunities to enhance operational and SG&A execution – which should ultimately allow Mama’s to deliver better service for customers, tastier products for consumers and improved financial performance.

In addition to potential cost savings, the deal is expected to unlock new revenue opportunities through cross-selling. Mama’s Creations plans to cross sell its existing product lines to Crown’s customers (and vice versa) to drive incremental sales and increase Mama’s Average Items Carried across a broader retail footprint. Overall, this strategic combination bolsters Mama’s position as a one-stop-shop deli solutions platform with a robust poultry, beef and prepared foods production footprint and accelerates the company’s progress toward its goal of reaching $1 billion in annual revenue by 2030.
