History
'Uncle Ray' Jenkins started his career in 1965. At that time, he sold products out of the back seat of his Dodge Dart. In 1967, Ray bought 'Cabana,' a pork skins manufacturer, for $1,200 and began selling extruded corn and cheese products. Still operating under the name 'Cabana', Ray purchased a 15,000-square-foot (1,400 m2) facility in Dearborn, Michigan in 1969. By 1983, Ray was ready to expand and bought the old Superior Potato Chip factory on the west side of Detroit.
In 1993, Ray was ready to retire and sold the business to AmeriFoods. The company held Cabana Foods for only two years before selling it back to Ray. It was at this time that Ray changed the company name to Jenkins Foods and launched the 'Uncle Ray's' brand. In April 2006, Ray sold the business to a large privately held company. The new company was established under the 'Uncle Ray's, LLC' name. Ray is still active with the company, serving as president.
Uncle Ray's LLC is owned by The H. T. Hackney Company.
