Remke biggs and Susan G Komen

Dietz & Watson, a national producer of premium deli meats and cheeses, today announced it will donate a portion of its October sales at Remke Markets and bigg’s food stores to the Susan G. Komen Foundation in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In total, 14 Remke bigg’s stores in the northern Kentucky and Cincinnati area will be a part of the effort.

“Cincinnati has always been one of Dietz & Watson’s strongest supporters so we’re so excited that we can partner with our customers and Remke bigg’s to support this worthy cause together,” said Dietz & Watson CEO Louis Eni.

Dietz & Watson has been helping in the fight against breast cancer for many years. This past spring in its hometown headquarters of Philadelphia, Dietz & Watson was awarded the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation’s “Pink Ribbon” for their unique "Pretty in Pig” fundraising campaign and their unwavering commitment to fighting breast cancer.

Its “Pretty in Pig” campaign raised more than $50,000 in 2009 through the placement of a six-foot pig at various events, where attendees were encouraged to “feed the pig” by donating spare change to the cause.

As part of the campaign, Remke bigg’s stores will be placing in-store signage to encourage customers to be a part of this important initiative throughout the month of October.

About Dietz & Watson

Dietz & Watson was founded in 1939 by Gottlieb Dietz, a talented young German sausage maker. His primary goal was to produce the most flavorful, highest-quality deli meats in the marketplace to please even the most discriminating palate. His old-world recipes and commitment to "quality above all” demanded nothing less than the freshest lean beef, ham, pork, turkey breast and chicken breast enhanced with fresh, all-natural spices and seasonings. Dietz & Watson never uses artificial flavors, colors, fillers, extenders or MSG. Today, from their headquarters in Philadelphia, the third generation of the family–aided by daughter Ruth Dietz Eni (Chairman)—continues Gottlieb Dietz’s dedication and commitment in preparing Premium Deli Meats and Artisan Cheeses. They are the grandchildren of company founder Gottlieb Dietz – Louis Eni (President and CEO), Chris Eni (COO) and Cindy Eni Yingling (CFO). Learn more about the company at www.DietzandWatson.com.
