Say goodbye to plain ketchup...Lovin' LeRoy's! 




We love ketchup here at LeRoy's headquarters in Milwaukee Wisconsin; it's good on just about anything. Hot dogs, burgers ( veggie, hamburger or turkey ) french fries, bratwurst, polish sausage, potato chips, eggs, and even mac n cheese.

Whether you call it ketchup, catsup, catchup, or tomato ketchup, everyone has tried it, and most people simply love it. After doing an extensive local survey about condiments, mass production or gourmet, the constant comment was, "when will there be flavored ketchup". 

Mustards and Mayo seem to be the most innovative with flavors. LeRoy's is sure to be the answer in the world of ketchup.

LeRoy's Ketchup is a division of MMGroup, a company specializing in branding and product development. We wondered ourselves why unique flavors were not more accessible to the consumer. We changed that with our first 3 flavors. The front runner Beer and Onions, Homemade Chili and of course Smokey Mesquite. There have been a lot of Mmmmm's in the 6 months of taste testing.

Coming in 2012 will be 2 more flavors. We cannot tell you about them yet, but we are certain you will not want to be the household or store without them.
