Hot Off the Presses: Dinosaur BBQ Delivery and Super Bowl Specials

So from time to time I receive press releases about goings on in the area. I don’t get them often, but when I do I try and post it up so the masses can check these things out. And since they are press releases, I figured I’d use some catchy phrase to designate it as such.

Hot off the presses? Eh… I could do better.

If you’ve ever wanted to eat at Dinosaur BBQ but didn’t because it was too busy, well no worries… in addition to their take out service, they are now delivering. It just started this week – 15 dollar minimum and a 10% delivery charge for your order. Perfect if you’re planning to throw a Super Bowl party, which they have specials for.

The details are below.

Shoprite's Can Can Sale!

There comes a time in every Shopriter when you say to yourself, "Self... shouldn't there be a can can sale going on now?" Well friends, that time is now. It started on Thursday and runs until the 19th. 

But enough from me for now. Let's get to that press release, shall we?

SHOPRITE KICKS-OFF FAMOUS CAN CAN SALE

January 2, 2013 (Florida, NY) – ShopRite’s famous annual Can Can Sale, begins Thursday, January 3rd and will run through Saturday, January 19th. This year marks the legendary sale’s forty-second anniversary.

The Can Can sale, made famous by low prices and those iconic Can Can dancers, continues to have a loyal and devoted following among ShopRite customers who eagerly await this annual event.  Over the years, the Can Can Sale has changed and grown.  Originally intended to focus solely on ShopRite Private Label products, today many national brands are included, as well. In fact, Can Can proved so popular that in 2002, ShopRite introduced a Summer Can Can Sale.

Although there are no sales figures available from the early days of ShopRite’s Can Can, the company estimates it has sold more than 3 billion cans over the sale’s 42 year history.

The 2013 ShopRite Can Can sale begins Thursday, January 3rd and runs through Saturday, January 19th at all ShopRite stores in the Northeast.

For more information on the Can Can sale, please visit www.ShopRite.com.
