Mullen's

In 1985 Roy Shaner, his wife Ann and their son Jeff purchased J.D. Mullen Company. After Roy and Ann passed away, Jeff continued making dressings according to John Mullen’s original secret recipes. In July 2023, Jeff passed those secret recipes to a new owner, Penny Shaw of Palestine.

Penny and her husband David Shaw, also own Flying S Inc, an aerospace company just south of Palestine. While Penny grew up in Australia, David is a Palestine native and his ancestors were some of the early pioneers that settled Palestine in the early 1800s.

The next chapter of Mullen’s is about to be written, but Penny is excited to keep the Mullen’s factory in Palestine and continue making delicious dressings for salads across the nation. Stay tuned for more news soon.
