Cincinnati Premium Outlets is set to welcome its third new store in the first quarter of this year.

Pepper Palace, which sells gourmet hot sauce, BBQ sauce, salsa, pickled items, jellies and jams, beef jerky and more, will join Cincinnati Premium Outlets’ roster of nearly 100 retailers in March.

Touting itself as “the Planet’s Number One Hot Shop,” Pepper Palace invites shoppers to experience a variety of small batch, handcrafted, natural, and award-winning sauces while “perusing a pantry of seasonings and sizzling, stylish apparel.”

This will be Pepper Palace’s first Ohio location. It operates more than 30 retail locations in the United States and Canada and plans expansion into the West, Northeast and Midwestern U.S. and Central Canada.

"We're thrilled to bring Pepper Palace to the Ohio market during the brand's 30-year anniversary," said Mary Ann Mattscheck, Cincinnati Premium Outlets general manager. "The center's newest addition honors our pledge to provide shoppers with experiences they won't find anywhere else, while furthering Cincinnati Premium Outlets' portfolio of specialty food retailers."

Pepper Palace is set to open at Cincinnati Premium Outlets in Monroe later this month. It will be the third businesses to open this year at the Warren County outlet mall.
