Alternatively, you can order them online. Food service suppliers such as Walmart, Amazon, or Smart and Final carry the sweet treats in varying quantities at a range of prices.

While shopping, it’s important to note that Tio Pepe’s is owned by parent company J&J Snack Foods, which has rebranded some of its products under the ¡Hola! Churros name.
