Rolls out Jimmy Dean Sausage & Biscuit Bun to its 1,160 grill-ready stores

CARY, N.C.-- The Pantry Inc.'s Kangaroo Express, has introduced the Jimmy Dean Sausage & Biscuit Bun, its exclusive new breakfast biscuit to its 1,160 grill-ready stores.

A twist on the classic American hot dog, the Jimmy Dean Sausage & Biscuit Bun pairs a baked hot dog bun-shaped flaky biscuit and a link of Jimmy Dean Breakfast Sausage.

Customers can stop by any grill-ready Kangaroo Express between 6:00 and 10:00 a.m. to purchase the new breakfast item for $1.39. The Jimmy Dean Sausage & Biscuit Bun will be included in Kangaroo Express' $2 Breakfast Combo paired with the choice of a 16-ounce Bean Street Coffee or milk. Customers can also get their Sausage & Biscuit Bun for $1 with another grill item purchase.

"Now guests will be able to start the morning with the classic taste of Jimmy Dean sausage and a flaky biscuit bun in a form they already know and love--the hot dog," said Joe Venezia, senior vice president of operations at Kangaroo Express. "Breakfast is complete with a cup of hot, fresh Bean Street Coffee, all for just $2."
