## Story

Plenty of restaurant chains have responded to consumers’ increasing demands for diverse sauces, and some have even begun offering sauce flights to fit the trend.

Slim Chickens is going a step further, adding a monthly drop of housemade ranch flavors from now through December. The “Ranch Remix” promotion starts July 1 with Dill Pickle Ranch, available for a limited time and priced from 39 cents to 49 cents à la carte while supplies last.

“Housemade ranch is one of the brand features our guests love most,” Chief Marketing Officer Patrick Noone said in a statement. “Sauce is how guests customize their meal and Ranch Remix adds a fresh note to a familiar favorite. Every month brings a new remix and another reason to come back and see what’s playing.”

After Dill Pickle Ranch, a new ranch flavor will be introduced on the first of every month. Each flavor will be teased in the weeks before it drops, turning every month into a guessing game for guests, who can follow along on the chain’s app and social media channels.

“We’re keeping the next flavors a secret on purpose,” Noone added. “Part of the fun is the guessing game. Guests will get little teases before each drop, and once a flavor sells out, it’s gone, so it pays to come in early.”

Technomic research has found that 34% of consumers consider what sauces and condiments are available when deciding which restaurants to visit. Ranch is the most popular, especially among Gen Z consumers.

Slim Chickens has grown to more than 300 locations in 34 states and the United Kingdom, Germany, Turkey, and Malaysia. The company ended 2025 with about $470 million in domestic sales, according to Technomic.
