Marathon is a major regional supplier of meats and gourmet delicatessen products to the food service industry in the New York City metropolitan area.

Samuel Ogus (1891–1970), who emigrated from Latvia in 1909, started the wholesale bakery, the Star Baking Company, later to become Sabrett Food Products, in 1928 with a partner, Fritz Frankel.

Major Sabrett customers also included Nathan's Famous in Coney Island, Papaya King, and the Stevens Company, who supplied hot dogs to all the ballparks.

For over thirty years, Sabrett was run by the son-in-law (Mac) and the grandsons-in-law, (Eric and Boyd) of the two original founders.

When Sabrett was sold to Gregory Papalexsis of Marathon Industries in 1989, only Boyd Adelman remained in management.

The frankfurters are sold through Sabrett branded carts on the streets of New York City and elsewhere in the metropolitan area, local supermarkets, and club locations such as BJ's, Costco, and Jetro.
