Get Ready For Abt's Second Annual Grill Fest
The weather around Abt's Glenview store is finally warming up and with spring here to stay, we're already prepping for summer. While there are many ways to elevate your backyard for the changing of seasons, one of our favorite upgrades is an outdoor grill. With our wide selection, Abt has found many ways to help customers find the perfect grill for their home, providing resources like our grill buying guide and our best grill models of 2025. But sometimes it benefits customers to see and touch the product they'll be using for years before investing. In the case of grills, customers may even want to taste what each appliance and tool can cook up. That's why last year, Abt hosted its first annual Grill Fest, giving locals the opportunity to learn more about grills and eat food fresh off the very grates featured in our store. And we're happy to announce that our Grill Fest is returning this month!
Join Us For Food, Fun & Festivities
Abt's second annual Grill Fest is less than ten days away, so the time to put this event in your calendar is now. This year's Grill Fest will be held on May 18th, 2025, from 11:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. It's taking place in Abt's open parking lot, and some of the top outdoor grill brands will be taking part in the entertainment. The best part? The Abt Grill Fest is free to attend (though we recommend RSVPing to help us get an estimated headcount). Curious to know which grill companies will be in attendance? Here's a list of our amazing partners:
If you missed last year's Grill Fest, you may be wondering exactly what to expect at our event. First and foremost, we recommend coming to Abt with an empty stomach. The companies above will be coming to our event with brand reps and professional chefs in tow. Many of these teams will be cooking up delicious summer treats for anyone who wants a bite, using their brand's collection of grills, griddles and outdoor pizza ovens. If you're loving your freshly-seared snack and want to recreate it at home, you can even ask about our special pricing and exclusive savings on grills and take one home yourself. Even if you're not in the market for a new grill, we'll be showcasing plenty of other Abt products fit for the summer, including sunglasses, patio furniture, outdoor speakers and Samsung outdoor TVs. On top of all this, Abt will be holding a raffle in which attendees 18 years and older can win one of five different outdoor cooking products:
- The Alfa Moderno Portable Pizza Oven
- The Napoleon Phantom TravelQ® PRO 285 Portable Gas Grill
- The Fontana Maestro 60 Hybrid Gas Pizza Oven
- The DCS Series 9 Wireless Temperature Sensor
- The Weber CRAFTED Carbon Steel Flat Top Griddle
That's right; attendees will get the chance to win a prize valued anywhere between $100 and $1900! And with free admission, there's truly no way to "lose" by dropping by the Abt Grill Fest on May 18th. We look forward to seeing you there. Can't make it? No problem! We're also hosting several grill demos at our store all through July, so take a look at our schedule to see which grill brands you may be interested in.
