Okay, first things first. We sincerely want to thank everyone who’s reached out to us with blog comments or by email regarding our Love Me Tenders/Cubs T-shirt promo. We’re truly blown away by the overwhelming response to yesterday’s MLB.COM story.
In response to the incredible reaction from Cubs players and Cubs fans (across the nation), we set out to find a way to get as many of you a t-shirt of your own (and maybe to try our delicious Love Me Tenders along the way). To make this possible, we’ve entered into an agreement with Major League Baseball that allows us to run this promotion in the Chicagoland area. We are NOT currently legally allowed to sell the shirts. We’re also not allowed to run the promotion outside of this area. BUT we are seeking guidance as to how we might be able to do so.
In short… there’s still a glimmer of hope for you out-of-towners! If it were up to us, you’d all be rockin’ a comfy new LMT shirt to show the Cubs some real post-season Love, so we’re working very hard right now to figure out a legitimate way to get T-shirts out to all you Cubs faithful. NO guarantees, but we’re doing our best … stay tuned to our blog for updates …
And, of course, Go Cubs!

September 24, 2008 at 9:42 pm |

September 24, 2008 at 9:43 pm |

Die hard Cubbie out here in Washington as well,

Thank you
September 24, 2008 at 9:54 pm |

September 24, 2008 at 10:01 pm |
There is not a local store around me… and I want a shirt (I can’t handle being left out). How do I get one? Actually how do I get two?
September 24, 2008 at 10:02 pm |
You have started something big!
How can those of us not in your area get one of your shirts (or the necessary CHICKEN)?? I would love to simply buy a shirt, please let me know how!?! (Seriously, I’d win girlfriend of the year award if I could get my fellow this shirt for Christmas…)
Thanks!
September 24, 2008 at 10:06 pm |
Just like everyone, I really want a shirt, but I live in Ohio- but have never heard of Reisbeck Foods. Is there any other way to purchase the shirt????? Thanks!
September 24, 2008 at 10:06 pm |
Live in Iowa. HUGE original diehard CUB FAN since 1958. Gotta have a T-shirt. No stores in Iowa. What is cost to purchase a shirt.
Thanks!!!
September 24, 2008 at 10:12 pm |
way down in louisiana…would like to buy a shirt, and some chicken if possible….
September 24, 2008 at 10:13 pm |
Please, please, please can we buy them directly. No tenders in Kansas City area. I have four kids and I promise to buy them the next time I am even close to a place they are sold!! Thank you and God Bless!
September 24, 2008 at 10:29 pm |
deep in the heart of Texas, would like to get two of these shirts.
September 24, 2008 at 10:35 pm |
I live in Chicago, I’m just impatient. I’ll pick up 4 bags of Love Me Tenders on the way home from work but would like my shirt this week. Any chance I can stop by and get one? Looks like you have some fans, just put the shirt up for sale already!
September 24, 2008 at 10:42 pm |
I realize your goal is to sell chicken, but making the shirts available to people who live outside your target market is a smart idea. Cubs fans live and travel all over the country, so we are a mobile market.
Please make the shirts available for sale so that we can wear them proudly and buy some chicken when we are back in the Windy city.
Peace,
Sam
September 24, 2008 at 10:56 pm |
Tennessee here. Would love a shirt… I want some chicken too… and a World Series win as well. Go Cubs Go! C’mon, lemme buy a shirt.
September 24, 2008 at 10:58 pm |
I HAVE to get one of these shirts but same as everybody else I’m out of the area and your product isn’t sold here in Tennessee. What can I do??????? Somebody please help
September 24, 2008 at 11:00 pm |
I live in NM and we are Cubs fans, we don’t get your product here and I also would love to purchase a shirt, can we just buy one?!
Thanks!! Go Cubs!!
September 24, 2008 at 11:02 pm |
Definitely no love me tenders in east tx.
I promise I bought them groing up in IL!
How can I get that shirt?
thanks
September 24, 2008 at 11:14 pm |
same problem out here in Connecticut, please put shirts on sale!
September 24, 2008 at 11:15 pm |
I also live in the st. louis area and am interested in the cubs t shirt. How do I get one?
September 24, 2008 at 11:20 pm |
are the shirts available to buy if I live outside the market where you sell your product? I am in Michigan. Any info would be appreciated.
September 24, 2008 at 11:23 pm |
You ought to sell these shirts from your website because it sounds like there are a lot of people out there that want them. Like all of them I live where your product is not available, however I would love a shirt.
September 24, 2008 at 11:23 pm |
From so-cal looking for a shirt as well. I’d love to buy your product if I could. Please count up 4x margin on your product then I’ll add that to the check. Sound like a plan? So what’s the margin?
September 24, 2008 at 11:35 pm |
I would lke to get one also but the product isn’t sold in Kansas City. How can I get my hands on one?
September 24, 2008 at 11:45 pm |
Forget the UPCs. Love Me Tenders should just sell the shirts on line for $25 plus shipping. You would make a fortune!! Probably sell thousands across the US in a few days. I’ll check back in a day or two and buy my mine.
September 25, 2008 at 12:13 am |
I live in Vegas and WANT a LOVE ME TENDERS t-shirt…what’s the probability of selling them outright without a purchase of your foods? I promise to check them out the next time I visit Chicago!!!
September 25, 2008 at 12:22 am |
I definitely want this shirt!!!!! These products are not available in Nashville, though. Go, Cubs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 25, 2008 at 12:48 am |
Another Florida Cubbie fan. Would be willing to order your chicken (and shirt) on-line or just purchase shirt outright! Hope you’ve printed a bunch of em’
Are there any on line merchants that sell your product?
September 25, 2008 at 1:07 am |
I’m already stuck in a place without my Cubs, without Love Me Tenders, and now I can’t get a shirt….c’mon PLLLLEEEEEEEEASE, PRETTY PLEASE! Make more shirts and sell them.
September 25, 2008 at 1:20 am |
way down in Beaumont, Texas… Wanted a shirt, now I want some love me tenders too! How can I get both? Go Cubs Go!
September 25, 2008 at 1:26 am |
Ditto … how can I get one of these if the product is not offered in my area? Please let me know! Thanks!
September 25, 2008 at 2:25 am |
would love to get a shirt in Omaha, where we get the Cubbies on the radio, but do not have your product in the stores.
September 25, 2008 at 2:36 am |
Another loyal cubs fan and not in an area that can purchase your product. I live in San Diego and in the military getting ready to go to Korea for a year and would love to be able to buy a couple of these shirts. Please let me know how I can get them. Thanks
GO CUBS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOU FOR PRESIDENT
September 25, 2008 at 2:48 am |
like the others I need a shirt but live in Tennessee
help us get our shirts
September 25, 2008 at 2:54 am |
Ditto what everyone else said about how to get a shirt when you’re not in the sales area. What do you want me to do — wear a Pirates shirt? I’m not that desperate yet.
September 25, 2008 at 2:55 am |
Ditto, I’m a huge Cubs fan, in San Francisco, but can’t buy your chicken locally and am desperate for a t-shirt! Can they be purchased directly, without UPCs?
September 25, 2008 at 3:29 am |
I’m in Phoenix, Arizona. Need a couple of shirts before I head up to Chicago for the World Series homestand. Like everyone else who has written… what can we do to get these shirts. Thanks
September 25, 2008 at 3:34 am |
I’ll be at my local Meijer store first thing tomorrow to find out they are one of the “select” stores that carry Love Me Tenders. If they aren’t, can I still purchase a few shirts?
Go Cubbies!!
September 25, 2008 at 3:39 am |
I am in Iowa and a loyal cubs fan, is there any way to get your shirt here?? Need to find a way to get a 2xl shirt and support the cubs and the Iowa cubs as well!!!!
September 25, 2008 at 3:51 am |
No Love Me Tenders in Indianapolis. Would love to buy shirts for family here & in L.A.
GO CUBS !!!
September 25, 2008 at 4:09 am |
What are these “Love Me Tender” s ?
http://4mgiselle.wordpress.com
September 25, 2008 at 12:56 pm |
Screw it…I’m flying to Chicago for chicken and UPC’s. I’ll eat four bags at Murphy’s with a few ice cold Old Styles. Everyone send me your money! lol!
Fukudometer…260 and rising!!

Anyone in the Midwest willing to send me a UPC label from this chicken, I will send you a free pair of fabulous earrings from my website!
Get in touch with me:

September 25, 2008 at 2:36 pm |
Cub fan in Arkansas. No Love Me Tenders in my area, either. I want a shirt. I’ll pay reasonably and I’ll buy some chicken, as well. C’mon, be fair…. PWEASE!!!!
September 25, 2008 at 3:03 pm |
I also live outside your distribution area but would love to purchase some shirts. I’d buy your chicken if it was available. Go Cubs!!!
September 25, 2008 at 4:14 pm |
Add me to the list of people that would love to get one, but live in an area where your products are not available (in my case, Auburn, Ala.). Please help me figure out how to get or buy a t-shirt.
September 25, 2008 at 5:26 pm |
I would also love to get one. Unfortunately I live in New Mexico. Please help me figure out how to get one. Thanks! GO CUBS GO!!!
September 25, 2008 at 7:53 pm |
I live in Akron, OH, and also really want a shirt. Am totally willing to buy the chicken as well. Please help. Also, make shirts in larger sizes for us husky boys please (XXL or even XXXL). LET’S GO CUBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 26, 2008 at 1:28 am |
OK, here is the scoop. I am a grad student in Davenport, Iowa, and have just driven across the river to Illinois and found Love Me Tenders at my very first grocery stop. The total cost for 4 bags of the things (which weren’t as bad as I thought they were going to be, if you can get over the 300+ calories per rec. serving) was around $40.00. I know that there are many eager Cubs fans out there that are just itching to get their hands on one of these shirts. I will either be putting one online via ebay, or accepting offers via email, or heck, maybe both. If anyone is interested please let me know, and maybe we can work something out. My email is jliles_lw@hotmail.com Well, back to the game. Go Cubs!
September 26, 2008 at 12:50 pm |
Big Cub fan here in Savannah, GA, and NO Love Me Tenders! I sure hope I can either get some chicken (not likely, I guess), or one of those cool T-shirts. I’m a die-hard Cub fan for over 50 years… please help an old guy out!!!
September 26, 2008 at 3:47 pm |
Please, let us Cubs fans know if the T-Shirts will available somehow to us “out-of-towners.” Much like everyone else, I’d love to have one of these bad boys. The slogan is catchy!

I’ll send money in for four boxes or LMT. You send a shirt and the chicken to Oklahoma. Does that sound like a plan?
September 29, 2008 at 6:23 pm |
How can we get one of these shirts down here in South Florida? I need one to add to my Cubs shirt collection. Right next to my Division Champs 2008 shirt!
GO CUBS GO
October 1, 2008 at 7:49 pm |
I am dying to get the shirt!
The Cubs play tonight and I’m losing my mind here.
What cna we do?
I will pay $200!
October 9, 2008 at 7:09 pm |
Ok. So the Cubies are out of it…..I still want my shirt. Just put it on the website already.
November 9, 2008 at 10:39 pm |
Have you checked Ebay? I think I saw some on there.
December 11, 2008 at 3:50 pm |
Anybody still want a shirt? I live in Indiana and can arrange for you to get one via the t-shirt form and a fee. Just let me know.
December 15, 2008 at 11:37 pm |
Marc, I would be interested. How do we get in touch?
February 9, 2009 at 10:58 pm |
TX has Great BBQ but no Love me Tenders! I need a shirt! What’s the latest?
March 4, 2009 at 3:50 am |
I’d love to get a shirt if they still exist!
