It's Super Bowl weekend and that means, so that means it's crunch time for some grocery stores. Festival foods in De Pere has hundreds of employees and managers.  They say the key to managing the rush is planning.

"Since the Super Bowl happens every where and we're in the food business, we kind of prepare for the ebbs and flows of business of what things are going to be," said Michael Siakpere, Asst. Dir. of Festival Foods. 

That includes stocking up one some of the hottest items.

"Veggie trays, taco trays, cheese and sausage trays party items, grilling items," said Siakpere.

Unfortunately, the Packers aren't going to be taking home the Lombardi, but fans will still be watching the big game.

"I'm rooting for the Falcons. I think they were unbeatable against the Packers, and I'm kind of a anti-Belichik fan anyway," said Roger Jannsen. 

While many packers fans will enjoy super bowl sunday...The packers loss is still a tough pill to swallow for some. 
 
"I'm still mad about it. We got some of the best players, and one of the best teams," said Jarry Peters.
