“Customers continue to tell us that they enjoy the versatility of our Chick-fil-A sauce flavors with their at-home meal creations,” stated Beth Grant, the director of consumer packaged goods. “We are excited for the retail launch of our new Parmesan Caesar dressing and the introduction of our signature Chick-fil-A Sauce into club stores for the first time. Now people can have more of their favorite Chick-fil-A flavors in their kitchen, using these products anytime as a simple way to dress up any meal or snack.”
