Litehouse Inc. Partners with Professional Golfer Justin Lower

SANDPOINT, Idaho, June 2, 2022 – Litehouse Inc., a 100% employee-owned company and leader in refrigerated salad dressings, dips, sauces, cheese and other innovative consumer packaged goods, is proud to announce a multi-year partnership with professional golfer Justin Lower, a member of the PGA TOUR in 2022. The partnership with Lower marks the brand’s first athletic sponsorship.

As an employee-owned company, Litehouse Inc. is driven by its mission to positively impact local communities, which is demonstrated through the company’s core values: integrity, stewardship, accountability, and commitment to excellence – values that Lower embodies on and off the golf course.

“Justin Lower is a phenomenal athlete with an equally impressive heart,” said Kelly Prior, President & CEO, Litehouse Inc. “His commitment to helping others through philanthropy and strong ties to his local community make him the ideal athlete to represent the Litehouse brand. We’re excited and honored to sponsor Justin as he embarks on his first PGA TOUR and look forward to being a part of his continued growth and success.”

“I’m thrilled to be partnering with Litehouse for my first season on the PGA TOUR,” said Justin Lower. “Not only do I enjoy their products, but I admire what the company stands for and I’m proud to help build awareness for their brand and represent them on the course.”

In 2010, while attending Malone University, Lower won the NAIA Men’s Golf Championship. While at Malone, Justin won the Jack Nicklaus Award as the top golfer in the country, as well as the David Toms Award for overcoming adversity to achieve success. During his career as a professional, Justin has amassed many wins on the developmental circuits of professional golf, including the 2012 and 2015 Ohio Open. In 2018, Justin narrowly missed securing his PGA TOUR membership by just one shot after 25 events on the Korn Ferry Tour that season. In 2021, Justin claimed his redemption as he secured his PGA TOUR membership on the final hole of the season at the Korn Ferry Tour Championship.

In his first 15 events of the 2021/2022 PGA TOUR season, Justin has recorded three Top 25 finishes and a 10th place finish at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

Throughout the season, the Litehouse brand logo will be prominently visible on the chest of Lower’s apparel.

Sky Valley Brings Its Drool-Worthy Global Sauce Flavors Front and Center with a Full Throttle Brand Refresh

Globally-inspired sauces. Color-drenched bottles. A full-volume relaunch designed for those flavor-chasers who refuse to settle for boooring. SANDPOINT, Idaho - February 25, 2026 — Sky Valley is officially done playing it safe. After fifteen years of fueling flavor-obsessed fans, the sauce brand is unveiling a drool-worthy relaunch – complete with turned-up personality, color-drenched packaging and a lineup designed for unapologetic drizzling, dunking, and devouring. Louder Look. Bigger Energy. Same Obsession with Discovering Global Sauces! The refreshed bottles bring high-contrast hues, hot pink caps, and mouth-watering photography that leaps off the shelf – because people deserve better than bland. What hasn’t changed? The rebellious, boundary-pushing spirit that’s defined Sky Valley since day one. "Fifteen years ago, most households weren’t buying many global products. It's a totally different ballgame now: global flavors are everywhere, sauces are booming, and people are much more adventurous. Sriracha is a great example, it isn’t just for ramen bowls or fried rice anymore...it’s on the table at your local pizza joint, you're drizzling it over eggs and breakfast burritos, adding it to anything that needs heat,” said Caroline Creasey, Brand Manager for Sky Valley. "This relaunch is all about harnessing that cultural shift: showing up louder, on shelf and on plates, giving our fans full permission to sauce exactly how they want. We’re not here to follow food rules. We’re here to break them."

Meet the Flavor Lineup (AKA the Fun Part)

Meet the Flavor Lineup (AKA the Fun Part) Sky Valley is back in the spotlight, and it’s okay to overpour. In fact, we encourage it. Lose yourself in our spicy, punchy, flavor-packed sauces crafted for drenching without limits. All Sky Valley products are plant-based and gluten-free Here’s a taste of what’s hitting shelves:
  • Our OG Red Sriracha: Temptation in a bottle. Sweet, spicy, garlicky, and smooth as silk.
  • Jalapeño Tomatillo Sriracha (Green): Just like our classic Sriracha except it took a vacation to Mexico. Vibrant and fresh with cilantro, tomatillo, and lime.
  • Sambal Oelek: A rush of jalapeño plus teases of garlic and lime. Sweet, spicy, sultry, and impossible to put down.
  • Thai Peanut: Peanutty, gingery, luxurious, and slightly sinful. Made for noodles, spring rolls, and more.
  • Taco Rojo: Packed with juicy tomato, a *kiss* of cane sugar, and a bold blend of garlic, onion, and cumin - great as a marinade or a finishing sauce.
And because we refuse to slow down, two new flavor bombs drop later this year: Mango Habanero Sriracha, a sweet‑meets‑fiery blend made for heat lovers, and a reimagined Sweet & Sour Sauce that brings tang, brightness, and Sky Valley swagger. (p.s. Join our Sky Valley newsletter for the latest developments and upcoming drops.) What’s New With the Sky Valley Relaunch
  • Color‑drenched packaging with bold food photography that makes flavor impossible to ignore.
  • Globally-inspired sauces purpose‑built for no‑rules, no‑limits use.
  • A louder, sauce‑first brand identity made for flavor fanatics who don’t measure pours.
Where to Find Sky Valley The refreshed portfolio rolls out beginning March 2026 at select national and regional retailers including , , , , and with more expansion to come. Suggested retail price is approximately $5.99 per bottle, depending on item and retailer.

Follow @SkyValley on TikTok and Instagram for the latest drops, behind‑the‑scenes moments, and a downright irresponsible amount of drool‑worthy content. About Sky Valley Founded in 2011, we’re flavor-obsessed rebels chasing the sweet and spicy saucy goodness. That’s why every sauce we slap a Sky Valley label on is bursting with bold, global flavors. Sky Valley is 100% employee-owned. In other words, every single person here is locked in, fired up, and actually gives a damn. We’re the ones pushing boundaries and taking risks to make sure our sauces are nothing short of legendary, every single time.

(BPT) - Key takeaways:

  • Sports fans are looking for game day appetizer ideas to wow their guests for watch parties, tailgating and homegating for the Big Game and beyond.
  • Ranch dressing is an increasingly popular choice for fans looking to enhance their game day dips and dunks.
  • Refrigerated ranch dressing offers superior taste and quality compared to shelf-stable options, similar to restaurant-style ranch dressing.
  • Litehouse Homestyle Ranch Dressing & Dip is perfect for dipping, dunking, and drizzling for crowd-pleasers like wings, pizza and Ranch Guacamole Bites (recipe included).

To celebrate these thrilling events, sports fans everywhere are searching for tasty recipe ideas for their watch party get-togethers. And what's the most important ingredient to add to your game day shopping list? Ranch dressing, of course. How popular is ranch dressing?

Ranch dressing also tops the list of most popular condiments, second only to mayonnaise. Some suggest that ranch may now be even more popular than beer. While the iconic American dressing keeps getting more popular, drinking is on the downswing. Almost half of Americans planned to drink less last year, a trend that's especially gaining ground among younger adults. To commemorate its relative rise in popularity, Litehouse has created a fun virtual "six-pack" for their Ranch Dressing, along with the slogan: "Thanks, Beer, We'll Take it from Here."

Litehouse Homestyle Ranch Dressing & Dip is perfect for dipping, dunking and drizzling on easy-to-make crowd favorites including any kind of chips, an array of cut-up veggies and even pizza. Enjoy spicy foods? Ranch dressing offers a cool, creamy contrast to game day MVPs like buffalo chicken wings or bacon-wrapped jalapeno poppers. You can also try some of these other options, which all taste even better with ranch:
  • Potato skins
  • Soft pretzels
  • Mozzarella sticks
  • Fried pickles
  • Stuffed jalapenos
  • French fries
Best yet, Litehouse Homestyle Ranch is refrigerated, so it's always fresh and closely mimics that restaurant style ranch dressing flavor that many love. You can find it in grocery stores across the United States in the produce section, right where you're picking up carrots, celery and other veggies to fill up your snack tray.
