Publix Super Markets and its Instacart affiliates will offer these four consumer packaged products for in-store shopping and local delivery. These items can be easily heated in home ovens or air fryers to replicate several favorite dishes of the restaurant experience. The suggested retail price of each product, ranging from 12 oz. to 16 oz., varies from $7.49 to $8.99.

Additional retail chains are expected to distribute Hooters’ frozen appetizers and snacks later this year, with a total of eight branded licensed products anticipated to be available by the end of 2024.
