"Many a small thing has been made large
by the right kind of advertising."

— Mark Twain —

We couldn't agree more. And here's a sampling of brands we've taken under our wing.

Vietti

Known as the great tastin' chili from Music City, Vietti has been manufactured in Nashville, Tennessee, since 1898. Our flagship brand is distributed through major grocery chains across the Southeast. Vietti's all-natural formulations are distinctive recipes that add variety to the chili category, while our packaging reinforces the Music City connection by promoting emerging talent from right here at home, through the Vietti Vinyl program.

Mayberry's Finest

In collaboration with sister company Diversity Brands, and through a licensing partnership with CBS Consumer Products (a unit of CBS Entertainment), CFA created the Mayberry's Finest line of muffins and baking mixes, inspired by The Andy Griffith Show. This beloved television show has a large and loyal audience, and that is no surprise, since it has aired continuously for almost 50 years! Mayberry's Finest foods, evocative of dishes Aunt Bee would have prepared in her own kitchen, take consumers back to the simple and delightful lifestyle of Mayberry, USA. Our most popular muffin flavors include Peach Cobbler, Cinnamon Toast, Lemon Icebox, and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. Visit MayberrysFinest.com

CFA markets and distributes O'Charley's brand refrigerated salad dressings, including the restaurant's signature Honey Mustard flavor, Bleu Cheese, Ranch, and Balsamic Vinaigrette.
