Whataburger will get into supermarket sales by bottling its condiments and making them available at Texas and Mexico H-E-B stores, the company announced Tuesday.
Fancy Ketchup, Spicy and Original Mustard will be for sale this summer.
H-E-B will sell both ketchup varieties in 20-ounce bottles and the mustard in 16-ounce bottles.
Labels will read: "Bottled by Popular Demand", "Wake Up Your Taste Buds" and "The True Taste of a Whataburger."
Bottled condiments will not be available for purchase at Whataburger restaurants at this time.
Wish list: 13 items we wish were sold in stores
Whataburger CEO Preston Atkinson also announced that San Antonio-based Whataburger's Spicy Ketchup will become a permanent condiment at all of its more than 740 restaurants in 10 states.
After introducing the red jalapeño-infused condiment in January 2012 to kick up the popular Fancy Ketchup recipe with some spice, it was a hit among customers.
"H-E-B aisles are about to include more Texas favorites," Atkinson said in a statement. "Our condiments have become nearly as popular as our famous burgers, and with so much customer demand to get their hands on our special ketchup and mustard in larger quantities, it was only logical to bottle them up and make them available first through such a well-respected retailer like H-E-B."
And there is more. H-E-B will also add a new product based on Whataburger's Whatafries.
The H-E-B product is a potato chip version of the French fry, cut from potatoes and available in a 7.4-ounce bag.
"Working together is a natural fit for H-E-B and Whataburger," H-E-B Group Vice President of Grocery Procurement Reade Ahrens said in a statement. "Both H-E-B and Whataburger are Texas institutions that have been serving customers for decades."
