La Monarca Bakery Expands into Albertsons Stores in 8 States

La Monarca Bakery, a beloved U.S. Hispanic food brand known for recreating Mexico’s favorite cookies, coffees and chocolate beverages using high-quality, simple ingredients, is expanding its distribution to new Albertsons divisions, bringing the total number of states to eight.

In 2022, Albertsons began carrying the brand’s signature Mexican cookies and Café de Olla in its California stores. Now, regions will also offer La Monarca Bakery’s new Churro Cookies, Mexican Chocolate Butter Cookies, Chocolate Mexicano Beverage Mix and Champurrado Beverage Mix, bringing its assortment to eight SKUs. With this recent expansion, La Monarca Bakery products will be available in eight states: California, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Nevada, Kansas, Louisiana and Texas.

“Albertsons has been a great partner and we are thrilled to bring our Mexican cookies and beverages to more Albertsons customers across the U.S.” said La Monarca Bakery Co-founder & CEO Ricardo Cervantes. 

La Monarca Bakery’s SKU lineup includes five scratch-made cookies and three beverages:
