Consumers can purchase a Dolores “Pepper Belly,” featuring the flavorful taste consumers have come to expect from Dolores, for $1.50 at select Superior Grocer outlets.

Many know “Pepper Bellies” from little league and football snack bars, however Superior has added more excitement by serving a generous scoop of Dolores Chili over a 1 oz. bag of corn chips. Superior and Dolores will also be adding Chili Nachos, Chili Fries and Chili Dogs to the line-up very soon.

Superior Grocers has been a long-time retailer of Dolores Chili, and has just recently added the company’s new Chicken Chili Brick® to all of their 40 locations. Now Chili fans can buy the Original Beef Chili or the New Chicken Chili in the Meat Department for $4.99 per 20 oz. tray.

“Dolores Chili fans have enjoyed Dolores Chili over chips, Chili Cheese Nachos, Chili Dogs or Chili Fries for years, and now they can get them right here in the grocery store, so we’re very excited about serving our Dolores Chili in stores,” said Dolores president David Muñoz. “This is an opportunity for people to learn new ways to enjoy our chili.”

Dolores Canning Co. Inc, the Los Angeles manufacture of Dolores Chili, has been selling its famous chili products in retail stores for decades.

Restaurants such as Philippe the Original in Downtown L.A. also sell Dolores Chili by the cup or bowl where patrons often purchase a bag of corn chips on the side.

“Dolores Pepper Bellies” are being sold from open to close in the bakery or deli section at select Superior stores in LA, Orange and San Bernardino counties with more being added each week. Complete list of currently selling stores:

Famous for its beef and chicken brick-shaped chili, Dolores Chili expanded its product line to appeal to bargain shoppers.

A single, 7 oz. serving of “Dolores Chili Sauce” is now available at 99 Cents Only Stores in four states.

The same great flavor profile, which made Dolores Chili famous, exists in the new product, which is sold in individual microwave friendly packages for 99 cents at all 300 99 Cents Only Stores in California, Nevada, Arizona and Texas.

Dolores Canning Co. Inc, the Los Angeles-based maker of “L.A.’s Favorite Chili” has sold its all-beef original chili in retail stores for decades. In 2011, Dolores Chicken Chili was introduced and made available at Superior Grocers across California. This addition to the product line will allow Dolores to appeal to consumers seeking low prices and convenience.

“At just 99 cents, the chili sauce offers customers a lower-cost option—perfect for keeping within a budget—but in a size that still satisfies,” said Dolores president, David Muñoz.

99 Cents Only and other discount retailers have recently grown, especially as the recession has customers seeking the best bargains.

Dolores Chili is a natural fit for this chain since the chili has built its reputation on value in addition to flavor. A 20 oz. retail brick serves four to five and varies in price between $4 and $5 depending on the retailer.

Founded in 1982, 99 Cents Only was an early innovator of the bargain retail concept. For over 25 years, everything was priced at 99 cents, however due to rising costs the top price of its goods increased to 99.99 cents.

99 Cents Only joins Superior, Food4Less and Winco Foods as other outlets where chili lovers can enjoy the Dolores flavor. Retail stores and Smart&Final offer 20-oz bricks and five-pound trays of Dolores Chili.

Dolores Canning has also expanded its delectable chili to restaurants such as Philippe the Original in Downtown L.A.

“Dolores Chili Sauce is another way for people to enjoy a single-serving of Dolores Chili. It’s perfect with dogs, burgers, fries, nachos or straight,” said Muñoz.

The chicken chili consists of the same family recipe and spices, which made the beef chili famous, but includes all white chicken meat and has been described as a “healthier alternative.”

The 20 oz. Chicken Chili Brick is now available in 38 Southern California Superior Grocers locations across six counties in addition to the all-beef brick already on shelves at the retail outlet.

The price for one brick, which makes four to five servings, is $4.99.

Dolores Canning Co., the manufacturer of Dolores Chili, says the new relationship represents a potential to reach those consumers who prefer an alternative to beef.

“Our new Chicken Chili Brick is a great alternative for those who prefer chicken and it maintains a healthy balance.  Our new chili has low sodium, low cholesterol and absolutely no MSG,” said David Muñoz, Dolores Canning Co. president.

The Los Angeles-based chili maker has spent four decades building a following for the original all-beef Chili Brick that has long characterized the brand.

With the new chicken chili also comes a change to the packaging’s label. The Chicken Chili Brick has a lighter look, designed to make it easier for consumers to select their preferred brick and find the new product.

Dolores Chicken Chili debuted for the first time at limited Bristol Farms locations in early 2011. However, this time with 38 stores behind it, the item is sure to bring in new traffic.

The 20-ounce and five-pound packages of the original all-beef Dolores Chili Brick are currently sold in major grocery store chains such as Albertson’s, Food 4 Less, Vons, Ralphs and Smart & Final. It’s also featured on Philippe the Original’s (downtown L.A.) menu.

L.A.’s Favorite Chili strikes again.

Grocery store shelves throughout the Western United States are not complete until “the brick” joins forces with other meat department items.

Dolores Chili was a natural to become the second most purchased item in the fresh meat case at Food4Less and Ralphs’ stores in 2010, and thus far in 2011.

This week, the all beef, original Chili Brick® will hit the shelves at all of WinCo Foods’ California store locations.

“We are very excited about our partnership with the great people at Winco Foods and we look forward to having our Dolores Chili available to WinCo customers,” said David Muñoz, Dolores Canning President.

WinCo’s meat department shelves will house the 20-ounce retail-sized Chili Brick®, which will be priced at around $5.00 per unit.

Each brick of Dolores Chili makes 4-5 servings and comes ready to heat and serve.  Dolores Chili is the perfect topping for Chili Burgers, Hot Dogs or Chili Fries.  Dolores Chili lovers recognize a diverse, great tasting product, but also appreciate the low cost per serving and the ability to feed a family during these tougher economic times.

Its model is a perfect fit for WinCo, which is known as “The Supermarket Low Price Leader.”

Dolores Chili fits right in at WinCo Foods by providing the consumer with a great quality product at value pricing.  The Los Angeles-based Dolores Canning, founded in 1954, is best known for its famous Beef Chili Brick®, and recently introduced a Chicken version with the same great taste.

Originally a distributor of beef and pork Mexican products, the family-owned Dolores Canning has expanded its delectable chili to major retail grocery chains throughout the West, and its foodservice pack is sold at all Smart & Final stores, Jetro and countless cash & carry stores.  Many restaurants including Philippe the Original in Downtown L.A. have served Dolores Chili for over 40 years.

WinCo Foods serves customers throughout the Western United States through three distribution warehouses.  WinCo Foods joins other grocers such as Albertson’s, Food4Less, Ralphs, Stater Bros. & Vons as another retailer where chili lovers can enjoy Chili Brick®.

In the past, Dolores Canning Co., the East Los Angeles-based manufacturer of Dolores Chili has sponsored the California State Chili Championship.

From 2010-2011, Dolores Chili also participated at off-road racing events, 5K and 10K runs, cook-offs, church fairs and cancer walks in LA, San Bernardino and Orange counties sampling the famous chili, demonstrating recipe preparation, and handing out promotional items.

During the remaining 2011 and into 2012, Dolores Chili is more aggressively hitting the streets. The calendar is filling up with more runs, walks, street fairs and various events.

At each event, Dolores Chili sets up a 10 x 10 booth and samples enough chili and promotional products for a single or multiple day gig.

Chili Fritos and a straight “cup of red” are two popular items sampled during events at the Dolores Chili booth.

Are you entertaining family and friends for this weekend’s official summer kick-off?

If so, then the grill is probably ready for firing up.

Dogs and burgers are the most popular items to throw on the grill to start the summer season, but we all know it’s the fixings and sides, which make those traditional favorites.

Dolores chicken or all beef Chili Brick® make a great side or topping on both burgers and dogs.

Prepare Chili Brick® in a pan on the stove, add water or broth to taste, and top off your burger or dog. One 20-ounce brick makes 4-6 servings.

Chili Brick (all beef) are sold at most major grocers such as Albertson’s, Food4Less, Stater Brothers, Ralphs, Cardenas or Superior in the fresh meat case near fresh poultry and ground beef. Sometimes the bricks are sold behind freezer doors as well. Smart&Final carries a larger, 5-pound tray.

The chicken brick is sold at Superior and Bristol Farms locations.
