According to a national survey conducted by Wakefield Research, almost 60% of Americans aren’t always happy with the lunch they’ve made. With the average lunch-packing American taking only 12 minutes to prepare their lunch, it’s clear their time could be better served. At Arby’s, 72 careful minutes are taken each morning to hand-chop fresh ingredients for the delectable Market Fresh Pecan Chicken Salad sandwiches and wraps. To celebrate the return of this fan favorite, Arby’s hopes to inspire consumers to make life more delicious and go from ‘Good to Gourmazing,’ rewarding one winner with a $10,000 Gourmazing Giveaway.
Arby’s Market Fresh Pecan Chicken Salad sandwiches and wraps are freshly prepared daily in-store, and start with 100% whole chicken breast, marinated and grilled to perfection, pecans and hand-diced fresh produce, including crisp red apples, juicy red grapes and celery. The chicken salad ingredients are blended with mayonnaise and served on either Market Fresh honey wheat bread or a whole-grain flatbread wrap, both of which earned the Whole Grain Council’s stamp of approval. The sandwich and wrap are available nationwide through May, for a suggested price of $4.29, or as a combo for $5.99.
“We’re excited to reintroduce the Market Fresh Pecan Chicken Salad sandwich and wrap, which puts a gourmet twist on plain chicken salad with the addition of pecans, apples and grapes,” said Bob Kraut, Senior Vice President, Advertising and Marketing Communications, Arby’s Restaurant Group, Inc. “To herald the return of this epicurean sandwich, we are giving consumers the chance to take their life from ‘Good to Gourmazing’ with a slew of exciting giveaways.”
