You can only imagine my surprise when I spotted someone walking around Marysville in a Mr. Pickle costume. I even had the driver of the car I was in do a lap around the block so I could get a second look.
So, when will the Mission get a human-being Mr. Pickle? Sure, the costume-pickle does not have a sombrero and holsters full of mustard and mayo, but it would make for a much more interesting hostage situation.
I discovered today that Mr. Pickles is actually a franchise… after eating at a Mr. Pickles Sandwich shop at an odd strip mall in Red Bluff (south of Redding on I-5) and seeing the same costume as pictured up, stuffed in a box in the back of the store.
That said, there is a Mr. Pickle’s in Marysville…

Sorry to say it – but I saw a dude standing on a street corner in Ranch Cordova (sacto area) waving a sign for Mr Pickles “San Francisco Style” fucking sandwiches. bogus.
There’s Mr. Pickles all around Sacramento. I seem em everywhere; Folsom, Fair Oaks, Orangeville, Roseville and citrus heights.
