Olive Garden hopes to bring in some new customers with their newest offer, which is a take on a tried and true item: breadsticks.
Starting on the first of next month, Olive Garden will turn those breadsticks customers have come to know and love into sandwiches, because apparently unlimited breadsticks just doesn’t cut it.
The AP reports they will start off offering the sandwiches, which use the breadsticks as a bun, in two options; the meatball sandwich ($6.99) and the chicken parmigiana sandwich ($7.99).
Anyone who orders the breadstick sandwiches will also get an unlimited supply of regular breadsticks, said Olive Garden spokeswoman Jessica Dinon.
"We're always looking to evolve our menu. We're always bringing on new items, and right now we're really taking those dishes our guests know and love and giving them more ways to enjoy it. Obviously people love our breadsticks,” said Dinon.
Jeff Smith, CEO of Starboard Value, Olive Garden’s parent company, introduced this new item to Wall Street Week on Sunday.
“It might surprise people that I actually like the breadsticks,” he said during the announcement.
