Time at Toppers

By ben  

A new Toppers Pizza franchise opened in Kenosha at 10 a.m. this morning, which is a bit surprising considering how many pizza places there are in town.  Anyway, the first 50 customers in line got “free food for a year” in the form of 52 dated coupons for a large pizza or similarly-priced item.  I arrived and pitched a tent shortly after 5 p.m. last night.  I ended up being #42, which was closer to the cutoff that I thought I would be.  My friend Rich joined the fun, and though he was just outside the first 50 customers, he managed to win the same prize via a drawing.  Nice.

Outside Toppers the morning of its grand openingI owe a HUGE thank you to my friend and frequent running buddy, Mark, who provided the tent for us.  The tent survived the snow that fell overnight!  Thanks also go to Jenelle, Maryke (Rich’s wife), and church friend Mike, all of whom visited us during our stay.

To answer your obvious question — Yes, of course, I will be sharing my free food with friends and family.  Only in Kenosha could a pizza franchiser see an already-crowded pizza market and cry out, “Me too!”
