Penn Station Sandwiches (formerly known as Penn Station East Coast Subs) is helping consumers beat the heat this August with the launch of two new flavors of its fresh-squeezed lemonade.
Available now through September 6th, the new fresh-squeezed lemonade flavors put a twist on a staple of the brand's menu. As Lance Vaught, President of Penn Station Sandwiches, explains, "Fresh-squeezed lemonade has been a hallmark of the Penn Station experience for over 40 years." What's new is that the brand's lemonade now comes in Blue Raspberry and Strawberry, both of which are made from fresh lemons squeezed daily and mixed with premium Torani syrups.
With the rise of "little treat culture" and the demand for everyday indulgences, the fruity new lemonade options are sure to be a hit.
