On Wednesday, April 7, United Supermarkets, Market Street and Amigos locations across Texas launched their first-ever Bacon Fest — a month where bacon takes its rightful place in the spotlight.
Greg Dempsey, manager of the Littlefield Supermarket, mentioned that the advertising insert that was included in the Wednesday, April 7, 2021 edition of the Lamb County Leader-News, included some of the items they will be getting.
Dempsey says United Supermarket is happy to be offering “something the public can try, that’s a little different.” The store already has the bacon burgers, the Hatch chili meatloaf, and baconwrapped chicken breast, but will soon be getting other products.
Bacon Fest will run from April 7 to May 4 and, throughout that time, each location, will be providing a selection of bacon-related products. Of course, guests can look for their typical package of bacon from traditional to gourmet, but there is more bacon fun to be had.
Some of the featured bacon items making an appearance during Bacon Fest will be bacon mac and cheese, BLT pizza, bacon cookies, chocolate-covered bacon, bacon cinnamon rolls and more.
“We are so excited to launch our first Bacon Fest,” said Scott Nettles, director of meat and seafood for the United Family. “From bacon cinnamon rolls to baconwrapped items to put on the grill, Bacon Fest is going to give us an opportunity to remind everyone of the great ways they can use bacon as well as some ways they may not have thought of before. Some say you can’t buy happiness, but we have created some incredible new bacon items and we hope that will get you pretty close!”
