CALVERT — Calvert is getting a familiar taste of Texas tradition as Groholski Sausage officially expands into town with its new retail location at 607 S. Main Street. The Bremond-based company, known for its homemade Polish sausage and old-style smoked meats, is now offering Calvert residents the same menu that has drawn loyal customers for generations.
Food is transported in daily from Bremond, ensuring the Calvert store delivers the same quality the family business has been known for since 1952. The new location will operate Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The decision to expand into Calvert came after what President and CEO Kenneth Groholski describes as a meaningful return. Before stepping fully into the family business, Groholski spent years in Calvert ISD as a teacher and coach before later serving as superintendent from 2006 to 2010. That history played a major role in choosing where the company should grow next.
“Calvert shaped a big part of my life,” Groholski said. “I coached here, I taught here, and I had the honor of serving as superintendent. This community gave me so much, and coming back wasn’t just about opening another store—it was about reconnecting with people who have always felt like family. Bringing Groholski Sausage here is our way of giving something back.”
The Calvert location becomes the company’s second store, taking over the former Zorro’s Hideaway Food Train site, which closed in 2024. Known for smoked sausages, jerky, specialty cuts, and wild game processing, Groholski Sausage continues to follow the same handcrafted traditions that began more than 70 years ago in Bremond.
With the opening of its new storefront, Calvert’s Main Street adds another locally rooted business—one that blends community, heritage, and the unmistakable flavors of Texas.
