Designed to celebrate the joy of summer grilling, the Brat Shop is packed with an impressive array of bratwurst selections that promise to tantalize taste buds and create unforgettable backyard memories.
Flavorful Choices Await at the Brat Shop
The Brat Shop offers an extensive curated selection of bratwurst, perfect for grilling enthusiasts. Customers can explore flavors that range from sweet and smoky Honey BBQ to zesty Taco Cheddar, ensuring there's something for every palate. Additionally, regional favorites like the Philly Cheesesteak brat and the Michigander brat, which adds a cherry twist, bring unique tastes to the forefront—a true celebration of summer flavors.
Grillmasters Unite!
Erin Storm, SpartanNash's Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, emphasizes the importance of quality when it comes to summer grilling. "Every grill master enjoys 'a little flex' for their guests," said Storm. "The Brat Shop helps add flair and creativity to grilling with an array of crowd-pleasing flavors that are freshly made in our stores every day.”
Survey Insights into Summer Grilling Trends
To understand consumer preferences better, SpartanNash conducted a nationwide survey through Talker Research. This survey revealed fascinating insights into the summer grilling habits of Americans. A staggering 66% of respondents identified summer grilling season as their favorite time of year. Among these, Gen Z participants notably expressed that the key to an amazing summer is a lively barbecue, showcasing how essential grilling is to their seasonal excitement.
Midwestern Flavor Preferences
Data from the survey highlighted that 42% of Midwestern respondents enjoy brats at barbecues, with half of them consuming at least one brat each month. This clearly indicates the growing demand and appreciation for this beloved sausage across the region.
The Evolution of Brat Serving Preferences
Consumer preferences have also seen a shift regarding how brats are served. While one in ten Americans prefers their brats plain, a significant number has started to embrace condiments like mustard, ketchup, cheese, and spicy peppers. Moreover, there’s a stark generational divide in side dish preferences: 70% of Baby Boomers favor potato salad, while a preference for mac and cheese is evident among Millennials and Gen Z.
Everything You Need for the Perfect Summer Gathering
"Regardless of what’s on the grill or what sides are at the picnic table, having brats, paired with refreshing beverages and irresistible sweets, is what makes for a spectacular summer event," Storm added. With the Brat Shop equipped to meet all grilling needs, customers can create new traditions filled with flavor and fun—a perfect blend for any summer gathering.
