Don't let the name fool you.... they are one of our very own, right here in Louisville.
Boulder Sausage.... fair warning, clicking on this link will make our mouth water.
Every Story Has a Beginning...
In the fall of 1961, Don Olk moved to Boulder, Colorado from Wisconsin. He brought with him a real talent for making delicious sausages and some great recipes that he had acquired from his father, who learned the art of making quality sausages in his home town in Germany.

After moving to Colorado, Don started a small meat market/delicatessen featuring his own mouthwatering sausages and other meat products such as salami, corned beef, pastrami, and cheese products. Don called his delicatessen/meat market "Don's Cheese and Sausage Mart." It was located at 1908 Pearl Street in Boulder, Colorado.
From 1963 to 1987, Don's Cheese and Sausage Mart continued to attract customers from all over Boulder County with lunch specials featuring his homemade Bratwurst sandwich, freshly-made warm German Potato Salad, and his own secret recipe baked beans. During this time, Don's Cheese and Sausage Marts expanded with stores in Denver, Broomfield, Longmont, Ft. Collins, and Greeley. Don's Cheese and Sausage Marts were fast becoming one of Colorado's favorite lunchtime establishments.
By 1985, Don's Cheese and Sausage Marts were under new ownership and decided to branch into selling wholesale sausage to local grocery stores under the name of "Boulder Sausage Company."
In 1989, GBS Partners, Inc., purchased Boulder Sausage Company and today proudly produces and sells Don's great recipes under the Boulder Sausage label.
In 1994, Boulder Sausage moved into a new facility in Louisville, Colorado in the heart of Boulder County. Boulder Sausage continues to upgrade equipment and procedures to continue producing the best sausage products in Colorado. Boulder Sausage takes great pride in their emphasis on operating in full compliance with the SSOP/HAACP program as outlined by the United States Department of Agriculture.
Although Don is no longer with us, his dreams and products live on in Boulder Sausage. GBS Partners feels very strongly about carrying on the company's heritage and commitment to quality, freshness and flavor that Don established over 50 years ago.
