“One of the most valuable qualities ¡Yo Quiero! offers our retailers, besides unprecedented innovation, is our commitment to elevating the brand to becoming a household name,” said Murray. “We are passionate about educating shoppers on our differences — flavorful, better-for-you products made from clean and premium ingredients — so the choice becomes automatic when they are looking at the cold case.”
Wrapping up the year at the 2024 NACS Show, ¡Yo Quiero! introduced its highly anticipated four-ounce Grab & Go! line, offering a selection of its signature guacamoles, salsas and dips for convenient, on-the-go snacking. With 92 percent of consumers expected to maintain or increase their purchases of grab-and-go items, according to Technomic, this launch highlights ¡Yo Quiero!’s ability to capitalize on emerging consumer trends.
In addition to this expansion, ¡Yo Quiero! debuted new sour cream-based dips at the IFPA Global Produce & Floral Show in October. These new additions, including Smoke House Onion and Creamy Jalapeño, joined the Ultimate Dip Destination family, catering to an ever-growing consumer demand for unique, premium ingredient dip options.
Amongst a busy year, ¡Yo Quiero! remained committed to its community by supporting local high school programs in north Texas, including the Team Mom Appreciation Awards in partnership with Dave Campbell’s Texas Football. The awards honored the outstanding contributions of team moms, with each recipient receiving a $500 donation for their school, acknowledging their significant impact on both their teams and the communities they support.
As ¡Yo Quiero! prepares for 2025, the brand is invigorated by last year’s success and ready for an explosive year of growth ahead.
