Current company

Wm. B. Reily & Co., Inc

Food Production · 9 employees · Founded 1902 · New Orleans, Louisiana, United States

Reily Foods is a 5th-generation, family-owned company that provides the wholesome and authentic foods and beverages that create meals and memories that bring together family and friends. Since 1902, we’ve helped to define the true food and beverage flavors of the South. We’re proud of our New Orleans heritage – it continues to shape the way we make our products and the way we believe in doing business. Our commitment to quality is more than a corporate promise – it’s a Reily family tradition. Prior to the turn of the 20th century, William B. Reily operates a wholesale grocery business in Monroe, Louisiana. With his expertise in roasting and the strong demand for his coffees, Mr. Reily moves to New Orleans and founds a company to roast, grind, package and distribute canned coffee. It is the birth of the Luzianne® brand. Mr. Reily is joined by Jacob Aron, an importer of green coffee. With 85% of all imported coffee beans passing through New Orleans, they assure themselves of having the first choice of the finest beans available. As the company’s reputation for quality grows, tea is added to the product line. Mr. Reily develops the first tea ever specially blended for pouring over ice. Luzianne® helps popularize iced tea as a cool way to beat the Southern heat, and its reputation for clear, smooth-tasting, refreshing iced tea is soon established across the South. Reily Foods Company continues to manufacture and market the highest quality coffee and tea brands as well as mayonnaise, cake flour, sauces, chili seasonings, salad dressings, and brownie mixes throughout the U.S. and, for select products, internationally. The consumer demand for Reily Foods Company products reflects the impressive loyalty of our customers and continues to drive our company’s growth.
