Our Story

A St. Louis original

Since 1926.

Maull's began with a man, a dream and a deep love for good food. A century later, it's still the taste of St. Louis.

Maull it.
How it started

A man, a dream, and great food.

"A Tradition You Can Taste."

Louis Maull was born in St. Louis in 1873 and opened his own wholesale food business in 1897. What started as a commitment to quality ingredients grew into a family tradition.

In 1926, Maull's Barbecue Sauce was born — bold, tangy and unforgettable. It quickly became a St. Louis institution, from backyard cookouts to legendary barbecue joints.
