McAlister’s Deli Reveals “The Great Spud Getaway” Sweepstakes for National Potato Month

Winner will receive an all-expense paid trip to the Big Idaho ® Potato Hotel, free giant spuds for a year

Atlanta, GA (September 1, 2021) - To celebrate National Potato Month in September, McAlister’s Deli is launching “The Great Spud Getaway” sweepstakes in honor of the beloved giant spuds menu item made with the nation’s finest Idaho® Russet potatoes. Customers can enter to win a four day, three night all- expense paid trip for themselves and a guest to America’s potato capital where they will stay at the unique Big Idaho® Potato Hotel in Boise, Idaho. The winner will also receive a year supply of free giant spuds from McAlister’s Deli.

In partnership with the Idaho Potato Commission, an array of potato-themed and local Boise activities will be available for the winner and their companion to enjoy during their trip. Most notably, the winner and their guest have the opportunity to take a ride in the Big Idaho® Potato Truck, a 72 foot semitrailer with a 4 ton larger-than-life potato on board.

“At McAlister’s Deli, we have a community of guests who are passionate about our giant spuds,” said Danielle Parra, Vice President of Marketing at McAlister’s Deli. “We like to call those fans our ‘Spud Buds’ and this September, we’re celebrating them through a special opportunity with ‘The Great Spud Getaway’. McAlister’s Deli is synonymous with fresh food and friendly hospitality, so we are bringing those values to life with the sweepstakes by hosting a loyal ‘Spud Bud’ customer in the heart of spud country.”
