is the only place here in my town that when they first opened, gave meal vouchers to all the neighboring businesses (in a 10 mile radius yet) for a free lunch on a day before their grand opening. The place was crowded all day with all of us that got vouchers ...we still go there for lunch and my family and I go many times for supper. So the $1000.'s spent on those vouchers was worth it in advertising. The vouchers were for anything you wanted + open bar.
