Blimpie gets spicy for summer

June 8, 2016

Blimpie is upping the spice quotient this summer on sandwiches by introducing new barbecue concoctions including the Spicy Piggy, Twisted Piggy and BBQ Chick as part of a limited-time menu. As of this week, customers can also order sriracha glaze and Sweet Baby Ray's barbecue sauce on any Blimpie sandwich.

"The Spicy Piggy packs a powerful punch for those who can take the heat," said Blimpie VP of Marketing Steve Evans. "The Twisted Piggy presents a tasty new take on our fan-favorite pretzel bread. And the barbecue Chick offers a sweet alternative to those who prefer chicken to pork."

The Hearth, Patio and Barbecue Association reports two of the nation's biggest barbecue holidays take place in summer, on July 4 and Labor Day, according to a news release.

"Blimpie franchisees across the country are ready and willing to bring the barbecue to the party this summer season," said Evans.
