Go Nuts! The MR. PEANUT® Character Is Renting His Iconic NUTMOBILE™ Vehicle To Overnight Guests For First Time Ever

Tags

Austin, Minn.

As the MR. PEANUT® character settles into his new home at Hormel Foods in Minnesota, he is inviting fans to stay at his vacation home, INN a NUTshell, and enjoy all that the land of 10,000 lakes has to offer.

For the first time ever, the iconic NUTMOBILE™ vehicle will transform into the nuttiest living quarters that transports you into an overnight, immersive PLANTERS® brand experience, of course filled with plenty of PLANTERS® brand products for guests to enjoy. The stay also includes a $1,500 travel stipend and can-nut miss activities where guests can enjoy the beautiful scenery in Minnesota. The best part? This one-of-a-kind, nutty stay is available for $3.59, the cost of a jar of PLANTERS® peanuts.

“As the PLANTERS® brand makes Minnesota home, we want our fans to experience the state like never before with this unique stay,” said Rafik Lawendy, head of marketing for the PLANTERS® brand. “We are always looking for ways to add substance to fans’ lives and what better way to do that than with this unforgettable experience at the INN a NUTshell.”

On September 17 at 12 p.m. CDT, one fan will be able to book a two-night stay at the INN a NUTshell from October 1 through October 3 by visiting MrPeanutInnANutshell.com. You’ll have to be quick, because only one fan and a guest will be able to stay in the iconic 26-foot-long peanut on wheels waterfront in Duluth, Minn.

In addition to opening his vacation home, the MR. PEANUT® character and the makers of the PLANTERS® brand will continue to reward Little Acts of Substance in his new home state, the land of 10,000 lakes, with a $10,000 donation to Conservation Minnesota. The PLANTERS® brand recognizes the organization’s continued efforts to add substance to the community by working with local residents, leaders and legislators to protect Minnesota’s land and wildlife.
