Pop’s Beef is giving guests a reason to celebrate with a deal built around one of Chicago’s most iconic foods, the Italian Beef. In honor of National Italian Beef Day, the Chicago-born brand is offering a one-day deal on its classic Italian beef sandwich this Wednesday, May 20.
All Pop’s Beef locations will offer a discounted 6” Italian beef sandwich for $5.99. With every purchase, guests will also receive a bounce-back card redeemable during the month of June for one discounted 6” beef sandwich at $5.99.
“National Italian Beef Day is more than a food holiday for us, it’s a celebration of Chicago tradition and the customers who keep it alive,” said Frank Radochonski, Founder of Pop’s Beef. “Italian beefs are one of those foods that carry a real sense of nostalgia in this area, and we’re proud to serve a sandwich that means something to our communities.”
With 45 years of history and 16 franchise locations across Illinois and Indiana, Pop’s Beef continues to serve communities with a menu rooted in quality and local pride. The brand has spent more than four decades perfecting its menu, including proprietary meats cooked and sliced fresh in-house every day.
Beyond its signature sandwiches, Pop’s Beef remains committed to supporting the communities it serves through local school fundraisers, blood drives, food donations for first responders and hospitals. This year’s National Italian Beef Day celebration continues that community-first approach by giving guests a chance to enjoy a Pop’s favorite while also receiving a reason to come back in June.
“We’re always looking for ways to make these celebrations feel special for our guests,” said Kacie Radochonski, VP of Operations at Pop’s Beef. “This year’s offer gives customers a chance to enjoy a Pop’s favorite at a great value, while the bounce-back cards help keep the celebration going into summer. It’s a fun way to celebrate National Italian Beef Day and show appreciation for the people who continue to support our restaurants.”
