REQUEST US
. . .and bring the queen to a store near you!
We can promise y’all: NO ONE wants the World’s Finest Pimento Cheese™ to be in your neck of the woods more than us. Know that we’re working ‘round the clock to make that happen, but in the meantime, please: don’t hesitate to let the folks at your favorite grocers and/or specialty foods retailers know how badly they need the Queen’s Finest on their shelves!!!
The Queen now has nationwide distribution potential and all of the production capacity to serve each of you…from sea to shining sea. Our number-one tool in making that dream a reality is CUSTOMER DEMAND, so if y’all are willing to put in a good word or six for us, we’ll do the rest!
•••
Here’s how we’re gonna make it happen:
First, there is no easier way to make your voices heard than to reach out to your favorite grocers via email/social media. I’ve complied a list of several national/regional chains here, as well as their contact information and social media outlets. Please: hit them early and often, and let them know how badly they need Queen Charlotte’s on their shelves TODAY!!!
Put in a good word on the Queen’s behalf…it helps more than we can say!
Once you’ve reached out to your favorite chains via the online method, you can REALLY kick things up a notch by approaching them the old fashioned way:
1) print our customer request form (aka: the ‘Royale Decree’)
2) take it to your favorite grocer
3) present the form to the store manager, deli manager, or customer service (or better yet, all 3!!!)
4) talk their ear off about how sad their shelves look without the Queen!
5) repeat…..until any/all of our flavors are chillin’ in your store of choice’s cooler :-)

You wonderful folk are the reason we’re able to do what we do. Thank you so much for the continued support, and know that we’ll never stop working tirelessly to make you proud you’ve given it to us. Now let’s combine our powers and take the Queen NATIONWIDE!!!
