Auntie Anne’s Pitch Pack has been debuted as a new menu item from the brand that celebrates the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup to offer fans a snack option to enjoy when watching a match. The menu item is designed with sharing in mind and puts a focus on customization with your choice of two menu items including Pretzel Nuggets or Mini Dogs alongside two dipping sauces. The menu item can be ordered in-store, via the brand's app or website for delivery, or even through ezCater or other third-party delivery services.
Chief Brand Officer Nathan Baldwin commented on Auntie Anne’s Pitch Pack saying, "When the biggest soccer moment of the summer rolls around, you don’t just watch – you show up ready to cheer, snack and celebrate. Every great match deserves an equally great snack, and Pitch Packs bring the game day energy to any gathering. With mix-and-match flavors, craveable dips, and zero prep, fans can focus on the action and leave the snacks to us."
