Summer is berry season and Potbelly is celebrating with the debut of its new seasonal Blueberry Muffin Cookie.
Available starting on Monday, July 1, Potbelly's new Blueberry Muffin Cookie will be available from all participating locations for a limited time. The new cookie is like a cross between a generously blueberry-packed muffin and a soft-baked cookie. The result is a hybrid treat that's bursting with the taste of fresh blueberries in every bite.
To celebrate the launch of this seasonal treat, Potbelly will be celebrating National Blueberry Muffin Day on Thursday, July 11. On this day, Potbelly will be offering Perks Members a free Cookie with their purchase of a Blueberry Muffin Cookie – how's that for a sweet deal?
