Cardona’s Market, the family-owned Italian specialty foods market and catering company serving the Capital Region since 1945, wants to take the bite out of leaving summer behind with a back-to-school “Don’t be Bleu” sandwich offer in honor of three area high schools. From now through September 14, guests can enjoy $1 off a small or large Bleu Bison, Bleu Falcon or Bleu Streak sub on in-store orders.
The sandwich, identified by the high school team in the market’s location (Albany Bleu Falcons, Latham Bleu Bison and Saratoga Bleu Streaks), features a chicken cutlet on a sub roll tossed in buffalo sauce with bacon, blue cheese crumbles, lettuce, tomato and ranch dressing.
The Cardona’s Market location showing the most school spirit by selling the highest number of Don’t be Bleu sandwiches will deliver a complimentary 6-foot “Bleu” Party Sub to the teacher’s lounge at the winning team’s high school.
“As schools reopen for the fall semester, Cardona’s wants to beat the end-of-summer blues with our “Bleu” sub offer to engage a spirit of competition as well as satisfy the appetites of returning teachers, administrators, staff and students,” said Cardona’s Market Co-Owner and Executive Chef Robert Cardona, Jr. “We are also offering delicious and versatile catering meal options that will take the worry out of what to serve in a time crunch as relaxed routines transition to busy fall schedules.”
Cardona’s Back-to-School and Fall Sports catering specials will accommodate a wide variety of audiences, ranging from individuals to groups of 2, 15 or 20.
