Chick-fil-A to sell its ‘secret sauce’ at Publix and these other Florida stores

Some foodies go to Chick-fil-A for the chicken. Others go for the sauce.

Starting in April, you won’t have to ask for extra packages of the restaurant’s “secret” Chick-fil-A or Polynesian sauce to take home anymore. Instead, you can buy 16-ounce bottles of the sauces at your local Publix, Walmart, Winn-Dixie or Target, Chick-fil-A announced Wednesday.

The Chick-fil-A and Polynesian sauce bottles will only be for sale in Florida as part of the restaurant’s pilot program and marks the company’s first attempt at entering the retail market. The bottles will be in stock by April or May, depending on your store’s location.

How much will a taste of Chick-fil-A’s “secret sauce” cost you?

Prices start at $3.49.

Chick-fil-A says “100 percent” of the company’s profits on the sales will be donated to its “Remarkable Futures Scholarship” program to help employees pay for college. The program has helped nearly 60,000 employees pay for college through a total of $92 million in scholarships since 1973, according to the company.

Select Chick-fil-A restaurants will also be selling eight-ounce bottles.

If sales go well in Florida, the fast food restaurant says it might roll out the bottles of its “most popular sauces” nationwide.
