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!

Love Me Tenders Weblog - The Official Chicken of Wrigley Field and the Chicago Cubs 
Ok, so I am a Cubs fan living in St Louis. It doesn’t look like these chicken tenders are available here. I want a shirt. See my dilemma?
For the t-shirt, is there any way for those of us who are in an area where your products are not sold
I am a huge Cub fan in St. Louis, Misery (Missouri). I would love a shirt (size XL)but your prouct is not available here. Can you send me one.
GO CUBS!!!!!!!
How does one get your shirt if they do not live in the Chicgo area. I live in South Dakota and would like to get a shirt for my husband for Christmas. I would be willing to pay a fair price and shipping. Thank you, Becky Eslberry
I just want to buy one is that possible?
Can I get your product here in Salt Lake City, Utah?
I’m in North Carolina and don’t have a way to get the lovemetenders. How can i get some so i can get this shirt?
Yeah down here in East Texas and I have got to get my hands on some!!!!
I live in washington state….. can I please just buy a shirt?????
I live in Phoenix and have the same issue as all the others. No Love Me Tenders…however, I was at Wrigley in July and my friends and I bought our fair share of chicken. Please send me a shirt!
I live in Phoenix, Arizona. I would LOVE a shirt, however I have not seen this product out here. Is there a way to purchase the shirt?
Thanks and GO CUBS!!!!
I live in Florida and your product is not available here. How can I get the chicken to get the shirt? Thank you.
I also live in North Carolina where your product isn’t sold. How can I get a tshirt?
Hi, I’m in SC and am an avid Cubs fun. Any way to purchase your chicken products, so I can get a 2X shirt. PLEASE!!!
New Mexico Cub fan here who really really really wants a shirt!!!! I hopeyou’ll make it available to us non-Chicagoans!!!
Im in lake havasu city, az… i gotta have a Love me Tenders shirt!!!! How can i get one????
Like the others, I live in the St. Louis area and cannot buy your product. How can I get a shirt? Thanks.
Yes, like everyone else.
I don’t live where I can get your products?
How can I get that shirt!
Thanks!
Well I see all these others are in the same boat I am. My husband is in the Army and we are stationed in Germany and I can’t purchuse your product here. 😦 I love the shirt and want one really bad, what can I do? Thank you!!
GO CUBBIES!!!!
Live in TX ,but a diehard Cubbie fan since birth,I gotta have a shirt!!!
Die hard Cubbie out here in Washington as well,
any chance I could buy one of your shirts?
Thank you
me too!!! I live in mobile, alabama…how can i get a shirt???
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?
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!
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! 🙂
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!!!
way down in louisiana…would like to buy a shirt, and some chicken if possible….
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!
deep in the heart of Texas, would like to get two of these shirts.
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!
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
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.
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
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!!
Definitely no love me tenders in east tx.
I promise I bought them groing up in IL!
How can I get that shirt?
thanks
same problem out here in Connecticut, please put shirts on sale!
I also live in the st. louis area and am interested in the cubs t shirt. How do I get one?
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.
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.
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?
I would lke to get one also but the product isn’t sold in Kansas City. How can I get my hands on one?
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.
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!!!
I definitely want this shirt!!!!! These products are not available in Nashville, though. Go, Cubs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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?
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.
way down in Beaumont, Texas… Wanted a shirt, now I want some love me tenders too! How can I get both? Go Cubs Go!
Ditto … how can I get one of these if the product is not offered in my area? Please let me know! Thanks!
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.
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
like the others I need a shirt but live in Tennessee
help us get our shirts
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.
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?
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
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!!
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!!!!
No Love Me Tenders in Indianapolis. Would love to buy shirts for family here & in L.A.
GO CUBS !!!
What are these “Love Me Tender” s ?
http://4mgiselle.wordpress.com
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!!
Eric in Houston
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:

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!!!!
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!!!
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.
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!!!
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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!
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!!!
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?
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
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!
Ok. So the Cubies are out of it…..I still want my shirt. Just put it on the website already.
Have you checked Ebay? I think I saw some on there.
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.
Marc, I would be interested. How do we get in touch?
TX has Great BBQ but no Love me Tenders! I need a shirt! What’s the latest?
I’d love to get a shirt if they still exist!
