About Us
We are our employees
More than 600 employees of Advance Brands, L.L.C. create the delicious, convenient chicken, beef and pork products known nationwide as Fast Fixin'. The company's mission is the driving force behind the high quality and convenience of our products: to exceed our customers' expectations and to enable our employees and shareholders to flourish and prosper.
Except for a sales force scattered throughout the states, our employees live and work in "the heartland" of America. Here we maintain close ties to the small towns and rural communities with a long-standing tradition anchored in the food industry. Advance Brands' sales and marketing, accounting, transportation and customer service teams are in Oklahoma City.
Most Fast Fixin' and Fast Classics products are made in our plant in Orange City, Iowa, where a $20 million expansion project recently tripled our production capacity. Research and development, quality assurance, purchasing and human resources offices are also located in Iowa.
The Fast Fixin' brand began with Advance Food Company, a leading manufacturer of meat products for the foodservice industry founded in 1973. In 2001 Advance Foods joined forces with Excel Specialty Products, a subsidiary of Cargill, to form Advance Brands. Since that time, both the distribution and the variety of Fast Fixin' products have grown explosively. 
We credit much of our growth to our commitment to the old-fashioned values that made American manufacturing a powerhouse in the world. Our satisfaction guarantee is based on the belief that a company should stand behind its products, and we print it on every package we sell.
Our Fast Fixin' line includes favorites such as chicken breast nuggets and strips, popcorn chicken, chicken breast patties, beef meatballs, Italian style meatballs and a new fun-shaped chicken nugget, Dino Bites. We developed Fast Classics products with the variety and quality offered by restaurant take-out. Now you can stock your freezer with chicken fried chicken breasts and country fried steaks with gravy, flame roasted chicken breasts, honey BBQ wings and Buffalo wings and fully cooked beef burgers.
Fast Fixin' and Fast Classics products are sold in retail supermarkets and club stores nationwide, such as Wal-Mart Super Centers, Sam's Club, Smart & Final, Kroger, Albertsons, ACME and Cub Foods.
