Retired Bucs star teams up with specialty grocer for sweepstakes

Sprouts Farmers Market, a Phoenix-based chain of specialty grocery stores with several locations in the Tampa Bay region, has partnered with former Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski for a promotion that will also feature the other four “Gronk” brothers — Gordie, Dan, Chris and Glenn.

Dubbed “Grill with the Gronks,” the sweepstakes, according to a news release, promises to deliver the “ultimate backyard grilling party” for two lucky winners, who will get to hang out with Rob and his brothers at their home in Tampa. The two-hour grilling experience will be fully catered by Sprouts Farmers Market.

“I lived across the street from a Sprouts in Tampa, and I may have become a little obsessed,” Rob Gronkowski states in the release. “We are thrilled to work with the company and to host what will be an epic backyard party featuring the best meats, sides, salads, fresh fruit, desserts and more from Sprouts.”

The contest is open to Florida residents until Oct. 31. To enter, sign up via the Sprouts mobile app or website, or spend at least $25 and have your app scanned at any Sprouts store in Florida.

“As athletes, Sprouts’ health- and nutrition-focused approach gives us confidence that when we shop at the stores, we will be able to find great products that support us both on and off the field,” states Dan Gronkowski, who also played in the National Football League, in the release.
