Reser's Fine Foods, Inc., an American corporation based in Beaverton, Oregon, manufactures and distributes fresh and refrigerated prepared foods. Over 1,000 products are available in the 50 U.S. states, Canada, Guam, Mexico, and areas of the Far East. Its prepared foods are sold in national grocery chains, independent outlets, and convenience stores. Oregon State University's football stadium, Reser Stadium, is named after the company, which is one of its sponsors. The company recalled 19 salad products distributed in 29 states in 2016 for possible listeria contamination. Reser's consistently ranks in the top ten privately held Oregon companies by annual revenue. Al Reser sits at the top of the Reser clan, and his grandson Alexander Reser died of fentanyl overdose in 2019.
Shortly after incorporating on May 14, 1959, Reser's moved from Cornelius to a facility in Beaverton, Oregon. Rapid growth over the next 30 years brought Reser's to its present-day operations at 12 plants with over 2800 employees. In 2011, the company purchased Oklahoma-based competitor Vaughan Foods for $18.3 million, and the assets of Orval Kent for $69.2 million.
In 2010, annual revenue was approximately $700 million, ranking Reser's as the sixth-largest private company in Oregon by revenue. In July 2014, it announced plans to build a facility in Hillsboro, Oregon, but indicated that its headquarters would remain at the site in Beaverton.
By 2017, annual revenue had grown to $1.2 billion, ranking Reser's fifth highest annual revenue for private companies. This ranked Reser's highest in revenue for a non-public Oregon food producer, ranking one spot higher than Tillamook County Creamery Association.
