Arby's Sets Aim on Venison After Conquering Smoke Mountain, Meat  Mountain & Pork Belly

Select Restaurants in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Georgia to offer thick-cut Venison Sandwich as deer hunting season opens

Arby's Sets Aim on Venison After Conquering Smoke Mountain, Meat  Mountain & Pork BellyFor the more than 20 Million hunters across America, the arrival of fall means Meats Season is finally here.  And no restaurant understands Meats Season better than Arby’s, which is why the Fast Crafted sandwich brand will release a Venison Sandwich in popular hunting markets beginning in early November.

The Venison Sandwich at Arby’s features a thick-cut venison steak and crispy onions topped with a juniper berry sauce on a toasted specialty roll.  The venison is marinated in garlic, salt and pepper and then cooked for three hours to juicy, tender perfection.  The juniper berry sauce is a Cabernet steak sauce infused with juniper berries, giving the already unique sandwich another signature twist.

“Hunters hunt the meats, and we have the meats, so it makes sense for us to connect with them and offer a sandwich that they can’t get at any other restaurant chain,” said Rob Lynch, Chief Marketing Officer and Brand President of Arby’s Restaurant Group, Inc.  “We’re a brand that’s not afraid to take risks and while the Venison sandwich is probably the biggest stretch for us yet, it’s incredibly delicious and we can’t wait to get it in the hands of our guests.  You won’t leave a hunt empty-handed after stopping by Arby’s.”

The Venison Sandwich will be offered at 17 Arby’s restaurants across America, each within heavy deer hunting areas in the states of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Georgia.  Restaurant locations and dates available are:
