PERDUE Chicken Coupon $1 OFF

The company was founded in 1920 by Arthur Perdue[1] with his wife, Pearl Perdue who had been keeping a small flock of chickens. The company started out selling eggs, then in 1925, Perdue built the company’s first hatchery, and began selling layer chicks to farmers instead of only eggs for human consumption.[3] His son Frank Perdue joined the company in 1939 at age 19 after dropping out of college. In the 1940s, the company made a transition from selling layer chicks to broiler chickens.

Post War Growth

The company was incorporated as A.W. Perdue & Son and Frank Perdue assumed leadership in the 1950s.The company also began contracting with local farmers to raise its birds and supplying chickens for processing as well as opening a second hatchery in North Carolina during this period.[6]

Full integration

Perdue entered the grain and oilseed business by building grain receiving and storage facilities and Maryland’s first soybean processing plant.

In 1968 the company began operating its first poultry processing plant in Salisbury. This move had two effects: it gave Perdue Farms full vertical integration and quality control over every step from egg and feed to market as well as increasing profits which were being squeezed by processors.This move enabled the company to differentiate its product, rather than selling a commodity.

In 1991, Frank’s son Jim Perdue was named Chairman, becoming the third generation of leaders from the Perdue family.

As of 2005, Perdue Farms is the third-largest American producer of broilers (chickens for eating), annually producing 59,320,000 pounds of ready-to-cook broiler meat. Perdue is behind Tyson Foods (151,300,000 lbs.) and Pilgrim’s Pride Corp. (150,930,000 lbs.
