The SPAM® Brand Hits the Road with SPAM® Sushi as Store Availability Goes Nationwide
Austin, Minn.
The SPAM® brand, in collaboration with Kroger, is turning heads this summer — and they’re doing it in style. Earlier this year, SPAM® sushi products rolled out nationwide at Kroger’s Family Stores, including Ralphs Grocery Company, and now they’re hitting the road to celebrate in true SPAM® brand style! Introducing the first-ever SPAM® Musubi Mobile: a larger-than-life food truck shaped like a SPAM® Musubi that’s nearly seven feet tall — an unmistakable site for fans and musubi lovers alike.
In honor of National SPAM® Musubi Day on Aug. 8, the SPAM® Musubi Mobile will visit select Ralphs locations in Southern California, offering free samples of SPAM® Musubi and SPAM® Norimaki, all accompanied by music, outdoor games, SPAM® brand merchandise, coupons and more.
For those who can’t catch the Musubi Mobile in person, the celebration continues nationwide: SPAM® sushi is now a permanent offering at fresh-sushi counters inside Kroger and Ralphs stores across the country, giving everyone a chance to experience this savory snack. Consumers nationwide can also get in on the fun, with a digital coupon to redeem free samples across stores nationwide now through August 9, 2025.
