TL;DR
Erbert & Gerbert's introduces the new Pot Roast Sandwich PIONEER, a limited-time seasonal offering. The sandwich is part of the brand's Fall and Winter menu, which also includes the return of Bread Bowls & Lasagna Soup.
As the weather cools down, customers start craving the warm, hearty comfort foods that make the PIONEER a perfect fit for the Fall. It also gives our stores a highly craveable seasonal sandwich that can drive incremental traffic, create excitement around the menu, and give customers another reason to choose E&G during the colder months.
“When the weather gets colder, we believe you should have a sandwich that can handle it,” said Mark Kocer, CEO of Erbert & Gerbert’s. “The PIONEER brings together everything we love about Midwest comfort food — juicy pot roast, creamy cheese sauce, and crispy onions piled onto one seriously satisfying sandwich. It’s hearty, it’s delicious, and it’s got a whole lot of guts.”
The Pioneer will be available for a limited time at participating Erbert & Gerbert’s locations. Guests are encouraged to grab one while they can and enjoy a hearty taste of fall before the PIONEER rides off into the sunset. Erbert & Gerbert’s will also be bringing back Bread Bowls & Lasagna Soup to round out their Fall & Winter menus.
