Pineland Farms Potato Co. products will soon be on the shelves of Sam’s Club stores in the Northeast.

Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, said she suggested to Pineland Farms that it explore doing business with Sam’s Club, which is the warehouse store operation of Wal-Mart. Collins said she put together a meeting between executives of the club stores and Rodney McCrum, who is president and chief operating officer of Pineland Farms Potato, based in Mars Hill, and that led to the deal.

Collins’ office said Pineland Farms potato and cheese products will go into 28 Sam’s Club stores in the Northeast.

McCrum could not be immediately reached and information on the value of the deal was not available.

In a statement, McCrum said the deal would help the company “continue to create jobs” in Aroostook County, but no specifics were offered on whether jobs would be created directly as a result of the Sam’s Club deal.
