Bottles of Chick-fil-A’s signature sauces will be available for purchase in supermarkets starting in mid-November.

The quick-service chain is launching its Chick-fil-A and Polynesian sauces—two customer favorites—onto grocery shelves at selected Publix, Kroger, Walmart and Winn-Dixie stores in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi. A nationwide rollout is scheduled for early 2021.

The 16-ounce bottles of sauce will retail for $3.49. With every purchase, 100% of the royalties the company receives will be donated to the Chick-fil-A Remarkable Futures Scholarship Initiative. The program funds scholarships for the education of Chick-fil-A team members and this year, has awarded $17 million to 6,700 employees.

“Chick-fil-A Sauce and Polynesian Sauce were offered as part of a pilot program in select Florida retailers earlier this year, and we’re excited to expand availability of our two most beloved sauces across the country,” L.J. Yankosky, senior director of Innovation & New Ventures at Chick-fil-A said in a statement.

Fans who can’t get to one of the retailers can purchase the sauces in smaller 8-ounce bottles at participating Chick-fil-A locations. Bottled sauce gift sets are also available at select restaurants.
