Spolumbo’s Sausages – Made in the Italian Tradition – Spolumbo’s sausages originate from the proud European tradition of three local men with a passion for football and Italian food. Tom Spoletini, Mike Palumbo and Tony Spoletini, all firstgeneration Italian-Canadians, are also all former members of the Calgary Stampeders. Drawing on the experiences in their Italian households, they began making sausage after hours and offering their products to restaurants in the Calgary area. The business quickly grew to include a large deli and state-of-the-art factory in the Inglewood area, with products selling across Western Canada. Spolumbo’s produces high quality all-natural sausage, containing no fillers, binders or preservatives. Calgary Co-op is proud to offer Spolumbo’s sausages in a variety of flavours. The business is a true local success story!
