Primanti Br0s. L0ses 3 Maj0r Sp0ns0rs After J.D. Vance Fall0ut (Page 5 ) | October 2, 2024

With three major sponsors gone and the boycott still raging, Primanti Bros. is now in full-blown damage control mode. In a desperate attempt to salvage its brand, the company has released multiple statements claiming that the incident with J.D. Vance was a misunderstanding. In their latest missive, they said, “We’ve always prided ourselves on welcoming patrons from all walks of life, and we regret any confusion that may have occurred during Senator Vance’s visit. We are working to ensure that our staff is prepared for all future campaign stops.”

However, these statements seem to be falling flat, with most people on social media accusing the company of trying to play both sides. “Too little, too late,” wrote one user. “You can’t refuse service to a major political figure and then pretend it was just a mix-up. Own it or lose customers. Looks like they chose the latter.”

And as for their attempt to frame the closure of locations and loss of sponsors as a “temporary setback,” no one’s buying it. “No fries, no ketchup, no beer? Sounds like a permanent problem to me,” one snarky tweet read.

With the loss of three major sponsors, Primanti Bros. faces an uncertain future. The once-thriving sandwich empire now finds itself in a precarious position, caught between a boycott that shows no signs of letting up and a tarnished reputation that could take years to rebuild.

Experts predict that the sandwich chain may soon be forced to make some tough decisions. Rumors are already swirling about potential layoffs, location closures, and a possible rebranding effort to distance the chain from the political fallout. Some insiders suggest that Primanti Bros. may even begin courting new, less controversial sponsors in an effort to stem the financial bleeding.
