Fans of Grandma Brown’s Baked Beans are still waiting for the beloved side dish to return after production stopped during the pandemic.
Sandra Brown, the owner and granddaughter of Grandma Brown, remains hopeful about reopening the factory. However, she cites a lack of skilled workers as the main obstacle in a conversation with WSYR-TV in Syracuse. “We need 14 plant workers, some trained in thermal processing,” she said.
Efforts by local officials and organizations to help restart production have not yet succeeded. Despite offers of support, Sandra Brown has yet to find the right assistance to meet her needs. While she reassures fans of her intention to resume production, there is still no timeline for when the beans will be back on store shelves.
