The lines at the checkouts might be a little longer this weekend as football fans make plans for home parties.  The holidays might bring a surge in business for local supermarkets at the end of the year, but Green Bay Packers playoff games in January are a “bonus” holiday, according to one store manager.  Jon Calhoun of Tadych’s Marketplace in Sturgeon Bay says the meat, deli and bakery departments get extra busy with big orders when the Packers are winning and in the playoffs.

Tadych’s is not the only food retailer in Sturgeon Bay getting in on the Green and Gold spirit.  Marchant’s Meats & Sausage is teaming up with Bridge Up Brewing to sell specialty Cheesehead Brats for tailgaters or Packer party hosts.  The kickoff for Saturday's NFC divisional playoff game is 7:15 pm at Lambeau Field.
