The Kerrygold sandwich pop-up is being launched in New York City to celebrate the iconic Irish butter brand and mark St. Patrick's Day in a decidedly delicious way. The pop-up will be open during March 17 from 11am to 5pm where New Yorkers could get their hands on the Kerrygold Crisp Sandwich, which is made with soft white bread, cheese, onion potato crisps and Kerrygold Irish butter. The pop-up is launching alongside a global campaign starring Irish actress Amybeth McNulty entitled Made the Irish Way to showcase the brand's signature spread.
Senior Global Brand Manager Neil Rogers spoke on the Kerrygold sandwich pop-up saying, "Born in the quiet heartland of Irish food culture, the iconic crisp sandwich has long been a ‘locals only’ legend in Ireland – an afterhours hero and the chef’s stolen moment snack. Seeing the intrigue and interest across social media over the last few months, Kerrygold is excited to let the rest of the world in on the secret this St. Patrick’s Day.”
