Gone are the days of mindlessly searching the refrigerator and pantry for a convenient snack, especially on game day. What game, you ask? And what snack? Cue Dietz and Watson.
The purveyor of premium meats and artisan cheeses (and, new for 2022, Dietz Chips— the pickles you eat like chips!) is back again, and this time, they’re here to play. Literally.
The Atlantic City Pickleball Open (ACPO) recently announced that the brand will become the title sponsor of the inaugural indoor pickleball tournament to be held September 19 through 24 at the Atlantic City Convention Center.
The Pickleball Open will feature the top professional and amateur players in the growing sport. It’s the largest indoor-sanctioned pro, amateur, junior, and para-athlete Pickleball Tournament in the Mid-Atlantic area for 2022 and will air on CBS Sports as a one-hour packaged program.
“We are passionate about all things pickles and are excited to share our love for them, along with our broader line of protein-packed snacks, with the players and guests at the tournament and beyond,” said Lauren Eni Canseco, EVP Brand Strategy.
