On Thursday, Skenes signed autographs and introduced fans at a Pittsburgh-area Sheetz to The Big Glizzy, an extra-large Nathan’s Famous premium hot dog.

Later that day, the menu item was officially unveiled at Sheetz’s "Glizzy Gala," an invitation-only event where loyal customers and content creators received an exclusive first taste of the new menu item.

The Big Glizzy now is available at all of Sheetz's 315+ locations in Pennsylvania.

To help introduce its new product , Sheetz partnered with Skenes for its largest hot dog launch yet.

"I'm a big fan of hot dogs, but let's be honest, sometimes the average hot dog leaves you wanting a little more," Skenes said in a release. "Sheetz and I worked together to create something bigger, bolder and packed with flavor."

The Pirates and Sheetz already are business partners. Players wear a Sheetz patch on their uniforms as part of a sponsorship deal.
