MILWAUKEE, WI, 2015-10-29 — /EPR Retail News/ — The Milwaukee Bucks today announced a new partnership with Roundy’s Supermarkets, Inc., and Pick ‘n Save stores in which the Wisconsin-based grocer will serve as the presenting sponsor of the 2015-16 Bucks season. The partnership is highlighted by new in-arena amenities and in-store promotions that will enhance the fan experience for Bucks supporters throughout southeastern Wisconsin.
“We are excited to partner with one of the NBA’s most exciting teams, the Milwaukee Bucks,” said Joe Wood, Vice President of Marketing for Roundy’s Supermarkets, Inc. “Our customers will be treated to an in-store experience of Bucks merchandising, player appearances and promotions during the 2015-16 NBA season. This partnership joins together two of the most recognizable and established names in the State of Wisconsin, Pick ‘n Save and the Milwaukee Bucks, Wisconsin’s grocer and Wisconsin’s NBA team.”
