USA Bobsled/Skeleton Announces Official Partnership with Grillo’s Pickles

LAKE PLACID, NY (August 11, 2025) – USA Bobsled/Skeleton (USABS) is proud to announce a new partnership with Grillo’s Pickles, one of the nation’s most beloved pickle brands, recognized for its commitment to freshness, quality, and clean ingredients. 

Founded in 2008 using a 100-year-old family recipe and sold from a wooden cart on the streets of Boston, Grillo’s Pickles has grown into a household name, known for its signature crunch, garden-fresh ingredients, and vibrant brand presence. Free from artificial preservatives and made with simple, whole-food ingredients like fresh dill, garlic, and cucumbers, Grillo’s offers the team a refreshing and functional snack option that satisfies. 

“We’re excited to welcome Grillo’s Pickles to the USA Bobsled/Skeleton partner family,” shared Aron McGuire, USABS CEO. “Our athletes train and recover at the highest level, and nutrition is a major part of their success. Grillo’s offers not only a great-tasting snack but also recovery benefits that align with the demands of elite sport.” 

Pickles and pickle brine are increasingly recognized for their performance and recovery advantages. Rich in naturally occurring electrolytes and vinegar-based compounds, they can help athletes rehydrate, reduce muscle cramps, and support recovery post-training. Partnering with Grillo’s ensures USABS athletes are refueling and refreshing with only the best, preservative-free pickles.

“We’re pumped to partner with USA Bobsled/Skeleton and their athletes,” said Mark Luker, CMO of Grillo’s Pickles. “As a brand we’re all about chilling out and bringing bold flavor and fun to every moment – and we couldn’t ask for a better partner to bring those vibes to life.” 

As the team prepares for the upcoming season and continues its pursuit of sliding excellence, USA Bobsled/Skeleton is thrilled to have Grillo’s Pickles as part of that mission. Grillo’s will be supporting our upcoming Slide to Glory Recruitment Combine, set to be held on August 16th, 2025, where athletes from all over the country will put their athletic skills to the test to see if they have what it takes to transfer their talents to the sports of bobsled or skeleton.
