Austin, Minn.

For the next week, America’s No. 1 pepperoni brand* is partnering with TV personality Adam Richman and giving pepperoni fans the opportunity to purchase daily drops of extremely limited pepperoni pizza-inspired products, from vehicle rims to mystery boxes

HORMEL® Pepperoni, America’s No. 1 pepperoni brand,* is stepping up to celebrate National Pepperoni Pizza Day on Sept. 20 with the opening of a one-of-a-kind online pop-up shop full of custom items that are designed to help pepperoni pizza fans celebrate this spicy and flavorful national holiday in style.

Beginning today and ending on National Pepperoni Pizza Day, Sept. 20, fans can visit www.PepperoniShop.com to purchase pepperoni-themed and inspired products, including some available only in extremely limited quantities, while supplies last. Each day at 1 p.m. Eastern, the makers of HORMEL® Pepperoni will introduce a new category theme such as wearables, home decor, outdoors and work and drop new products for purchase. All pricing is a nod to National Pepperoni Pizza Day on Sept. 20.

“As America’s number one pepperoni brand,* it only makes sense that the makers of HORMEL® Pepperoni would create this first-of-its-kind online store that celebrates the passion that millions of fans have for pepperoni pizza on this holiday,” said Samantha Hovland, senior brand manager of the HORMEL® Pepperoni brand. “From wearables to items designed for your home, office and the outdoors, we’ve created a fun line of custom products that will help fans not only celebrate and enhance their National Pepperoni Pizza Day experience, but also show off their love for pepperoni pizza everywhere they go.”

The Pepperoni Pizza Pop-Up Shop will have everything that the ultimate pepperoni pizza fan would need — including things they never thought they needed, but always wanted — to celebrate National Pepperoni Pizza Day. Some daily featured items include: a crossbody bag to carry a slice of pepperoni pizza, a custom set of pepperoni pizza-themed rims to drive in style, a pizza-shaped lamp that displays slices of pepperoni, a “break in case of emergency” display case with a package of HORMEL® Pepperoni, original art and mystery boxes. See below for more details on daily themes and the dozens upon dozens of items available each day at www.PepperoniShop.com.

The makers of HORMEL® Pepperoni are also teaming up with food enthusiast and TV host for History Channel’s “Food That Built America,” Adam Richman, to help spread the news about the all-new Pepperoni Pizza Pop-Up Shop with other pepperoni-obsessed fans. Adam stars in a new video called “The Place That Built Pepperoni” that chronicles the role that HORMEL® Pepperoni has played in helping pepperoni win the hearts and appetites of a nation while showcasing the unique and exciting items available only on www.PepperoniShop.com.

I’m excited to partner with HORMEL® Pepperoni and let fans know how they can get unique and custom items that will allow them to celebrate their fandom on National Pepperoni Pizza Day and every day.”
