Market Street set to host Bacon Fest event with Texas Tech mascots
LUBBOCK, Texas – Beginning in July, United Supermarkets, Market Street and Amigos locations across Texas launched their third annual Bacon Fest — a month where bacon takes its rightful place in the spotlight.
In addition to special bacon items across stores, a Bacon Fest event will be held on Saturday, July 15 at Market Street (4205 98th St.) from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. While snacking on some free bacon, guests will also have the opportunity to meet and take photos with Texas Tech’s Masked Rider and Raider Red.
Bacon Fest itself will run until August 1 and, throughout that time, each location will be providing a huge selection of bacon related products. Of course, guests can always look for their typical package of bacon — traditional or gourmet. But, scattered throughout parts of the store, there will be special bacon creations marked with the Bacon Fest logo.
Some of the featured bacon items making an appearance during Bacon Fest will be bacon mac and cheese, bacon cookies, ribeye bacon burger, hatch chile bacon meatloaf, and more.
“We are so excited to launch our third annual Bacon Fest,” said Scott Nettles, director of meat and seafood for The United Family. “From bacon cookies to bacon wrapped items to put on the grill, Bacon Fest allows us an opportunity to remind everyone of the great ways to cook with bacon. Some say you can’t buy happiness, but with our bacon creations we hope that will get you pretty close!”
