Crav’n Flavor and Chris Janson have announced a new partnership that will see the country singer representing the brand through March 2025 in a variety of ways. The partnership will see the singer promoting Crav'n Flavor products on his Instagram page on a monthly basis, while brick and mortar locations will feature his likeness to catch the attention of shoppers. The partnership comes as a natural progression given the brand's previous relationships with the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp. for sponsorship of the Jack Daniel’s New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash and the Let Freedom Sing! Music City July 4th events.
Stater Bros. Markets SVP and Chief Marketing Officer and Topco Member Rebecca Calvin commented on the Crav’n Flavor and Chris Janson partnership saying, "We are very excited for the opportunity to partner with Chris Janson and continue to build on the success that Crav’n Flavor has had with live music. With such a strong country music community in Southern California, this partnership will only help strengthen our ties with country music fans and create mutually beneficial awareness for Stater Bros. and Crav’n Flavor."
