In an ongoing plan to showcase its products beyond the famous Dolores Chili Brick, Dolores Canning is attending the largest supermarket products show in the western United States. 
Dolores is scheduled to simultaneously market its three major brands--Dolores Chili Brick, Fonda Don Chon and Roscoes's at Home--June 12 and 13 at the Unified Grocers Expo at the Long Beach Convention Center.
The show represents the region's major food companies and retailers, and serves as an opportunity for buyers to explore and sample existing and new products.
Most major retailers across the western United States and beyond carry beef and chicken Chili Brick, but the company's two newer product lines aren't as prominent yet.
Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles famous Mac 'N Cheese, Chili Mac and Greens are sold frozen under the Roscoe's at Home brand in individual-sized packages at select Southern California retailers. Fonda Don Chon's Salsa Roja, Salsa Diabla and its most famous Mojo de Ajo (garlic butter) will soon follow with SoCal area stores as a starting point for distribution.
Dolores packages and distributes the Roscoe's at Home and Fonda Don Chon brands from its Downtown L.A. facility.
Dolores sampled all three lines at the Nation's Restaurant Association Show May 18 - 21 in Chicago, IL. This gathering is the nation's largest in the food service industry.
In the 1970's, Dolores began selling its all beef Chili Brick, which quickly became "L.A.'s Favorite Chili." Beef and chicken Chili Brick are also sold in countless independents across the U.S., and is the base for many restaurant's chili.
Rocoe's at Home products are also available for sale online at RoscoesatHome.com.

Dolores Canning Co. will have representation at the Nation’s Restaurant Association (NRA) Show 2013 in Chicago, IL May 18 - 21, showcasing a trio of product lines. 
The NRA Show is the biggest restaurant show in the nation, and Dolores has a diverse line to showcase.
The company’s well-known Dolores Chili Brick, available in both beef and chicken will be demonstrated and sampled. The Chili Brick line has recently expanded into Chicago area Food4Less stores and other regions across the United States.
Dolores will demonstrate its ability to distribute and market products beyond its own Chili Brick line, which has been sold since the 1970’s in major grocery outlets, countless independents and restaurants.
In late 2012, Dolores partnered with L.A. restaurant chain Roscoe’s House of Chicken & Waffles to provide the packaging and distribution for three of the brand’s popular products—Mac ‘N Cheese, Chili Mac and Roscoe’s Greens.
The Roscoe’s at Home brand is sold in 9-ounce frozen packaging, currently available behind freezer doors at Cardenas Markets, Vallarta Supermarkets and Superior Grocers in Southern California.
Roscoe’s fans outside of the SoCal area can purchase Roscoe’s at Home products online at www.RoscoesatHome.com.
Dolores’ growth by partnerships didn’t end there.
This year, Dolores teamed up with San Gabriel Valley restaurant, Fonda Don Chon. Dolores will package and distribute three items which have made the Covina, CA restaurant famous. Fonda Don Chon’s Original Red Salsa, Salsa Diabla and Mojo Spread are used to enhance the restaurant’s authentic Mexican recipes. The items quickly became popular amongst patrons and were a contributing factor to the establishment's 2013 Best Mexican Cuisine Award.
Dolores will package and distribute the three items for retail and online sales.
Dolores' show booth visitors will also sample Roscoe’s at Home and Fonda Don Chon products.
Dolores Canning Co. has operated out of Los Angeles for 60 years; its processing and packaging facility just outside downtown ships products to retailers throughout the nation.
