Papa Johns Garlic Flavored Sauce is a new retail product from the pizza brand inspired by its classic Special Garlic Dipping Sauce to help consumers incorporate it into all their at-home mealtime occasions.
The product responds to the cult status that the brand's garlic-forward dipping sauce has achieved and features a buttery composition that prioritizes versatility. The sauce is thus presented by the brand as the ultimate option for dipping, drizzling and cooking. The product responds to the increasing popularity of retail versions of takeout food items as consumers gravitate towards fakeaway experiences that prioritize a low-cost price point.
Papa Johns Garlic Flavored Sauce is headed to the US grocery and retail market this summer to position it as a great option for warm weather entertaining. Shoppers will be able to find it at Walmart, Kroger, Albertson's, Safeway and H-E-B.
