Armour, founded in 1877 by Philip Danforth Armour, represents the fulfillment of the American dream. At age 19, he left his roots in the East and headed West in search of gold. During the peak of the California gold rush, Philip Armour recognized the potential for processed meats to serve workers in mines, and with a mere $8,000 in hand, he returned to the Midwest to conquer that opportunity. By 1880, the Armour Meat Packing Company became one of Chicago’s most important businesses putting not only the city on the map, but also establishing Union Stock Yards as the center of the American meatpacking industry. To this day, Armour is a well-known, trusted brand and continues to provide a smart choice for families seeking value and great taste.
