DULUTH, Ga. — The AVO Braves Chevy Bolt EUV has been making rounds to Atlanta-area Kroger stores in promotion of The Ultimate Baseball Sweepstakes, courtesy of a partnership with Avocados from Peru and the Atlanta Braves.
The custom-wrapped vehicle — one of the sweepstakes' grand prizes — drew the attention of Kroger shoppers during an Aug. 19 stop. Along with getting an up-close look at the EUV, visitors could enter the sweepstakes on-site and choose among a selection of swag, such as Braves and Avocados from Peru baseball caps and a bobblehead figurine of Braves star outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr.

Visitors could also don a Braves jersey and baseball gear to have their picture taken against a backdrop of a Truist Park crowd.
The sweepstakes, which runs through Sept. 15, 2023, also includes a VIP Braves experience and a $2,000 Kroger shopping spree among its prizes. Fans can enter for a chance to win by visiting the AVO Braves website or by following @avosfromperu on Instagram. (Only legal residents of the 48 contiguous states are eligible to win.)
“It is a pleasure for Avocados from Peru to join the Atlanta Braves team,” Xavier Equihua, president and CEO of the Washington, D.C.-based Peruvian Avocado Commission, previously said in a news release. “We are looking forward to helping the Braves create a unique summer sweepstakes giveaway while promoting the importance of eating healthy and living green through a series of multiplatform tactics.”
James Cooper, manager of corporate partnerships with the Atlanta Braves, and Kristi Cooper (no relation), Growing the Game coordinator, demonstrate how visitors could grab baseball props for a photo against a background of a Truist Park crowd.
