Dominik Szoboszlai, Ibrahima Konate, and Ryan Gravenberch all donned aprons to compete at The Bagelry, a local cafe in Liverpool, for the finest doughnut and bagel.
You might recall the players’ unexpected visit to the local store in December, where they showcased their support for local small businesses as part of a new VistaPrint campaign.
The participants compete in the new video by offering complimentary doughnuts to onlookers while attempting to determine which of their delectable treats will be the most well-received by city dwellers.
The objective of the partnership between Liverpool FC and VistaPrint is to advance the cause of local small businesses by means of work experience and the ‘Small Business of The Match’ initiative. This contest grants visibility to small business owners in the United Kingdom through pitch-side advertising during home games, in addition to providing them with an indelible Anfield experience on match day.
VistaPrint has contributed £3,000 as a component of its latest fundraising initiative to assist The Bagelry in procuring updated culinary equipment.
The video features three Reds players discussing their culinary expertise. Gravenberch states, “I was living alone in Germany last year and prepared my own meals.”
The initiation of the competition ignites the participants’ competitive fervor. “They are going to purchase it if it looks good,” asserts Szoboszlai. “With my heart, I created it,” Konate continues.
Ultimately, Konate emerges victorious in the competition for the most aesthetically pleasing treat, garnering the highest acclaim from spectators due to the vivacious sales presentations delivered by all three competitors.
“The Konate” consists of french fries, a vegan sirloin bagel, and Cafe de Paris butter.
Regarding the impact the appearance had on The Bagelry, co-owner Sam Stonehouse remarked, “Since the players visited the store, the response from patrons has been phenomenal. It was such a delightful and constructive experience that individuals continue to discuss.
“As a result, there has been a significant surge in social media mentions and an unprecedented influx of customers patronizing the establishment.”
“Our establishment will carry ‘The Konate’ winning bagel for the entire month of February, for those who wish to sample it. Once more, grateful to Vistaprint and Liverpool FC!”
