Alex Ovechkin may not have his own Wheaties box, but the Capitals star is about to get his own limited edition cereal. Ovi’s Great Crunch, a bran flake celebrating the left wing’s goal-scoring record , will hit Giant grocery store shelves across the region beginning Friday, September 19.
This is actually Ovechkin’s second cereal collab with Giant, which is a sponsor of the Washington Capitals. In 2019, the grocer launched Ovi O’s, which sold out in days. (You can still find some boxes for sale on eBay.) This time, Giant has ramped up the initial production with nearly 100,000 boxes that will be available across its 163 stores in DC, Maryland, Virginia, and Delaware. Family-size, 18-ounce boxes will be priced at $2.99 and proceeds will benefit V Foundation via Hockey Fights Cancer to
