The ranch was opened for visitors, who loved the flavors of their homemade salad dressing, which was named Ranch shortly after that, and it became the only dressing to ever be served at the ranch. The dressing gained huge popularity, and in 1972, the Hensons sold their brand to the Clorox Company for $8 million. In 1983, when a bottled version of the dressing appeared, the sales skyrocketed.
