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.
