Jon Cox, GetGo VP and Chief Merchant, stated, “For many of our customers, the annual arrival of the Pilgrim Sub is as much a part of fall as football tailgates and hayrides,” … “The addition of the Pilgrim Go Bowl and Pilgrim Go Ritto give our customers the opportunity to enjoy the Pilgrim’s unique flavor combination in new, fun and convenient ways.”
