Wanna Buy a Sausage Factory?

There's a sausage factory in South Dallas that's on the market. I wouldn't call it famous, but they've been around since 1970, and a few Dallas barbecue joints like Peggy Sue BBQ and Baby Back Shak serve their products. For just $149,000 it can all be yours.

According to a listing, "The product lines comprise of: Hot Links, Mild Smoked Sausages, Polish Rings, Summer Sausages, Sausage on sticks." There is a processing facility as well as a retail outlet next door. I haven't made it down to DeSoto to check out their offerings, but if anyone's familiar with the store please let me know your thoughts.

They seem to be very open about their reasons for selling. Again from the listing, "Due to the lack of involvement by the current owner, Renko has no sales/marketing force to introduce and sell its deliciously excellent sausages." They also lost their contract as the official sausage-on-a-stick of Cowboys Stadium when the team moved to Arlington. I'm guessing that has a little something to do with the sale too.
