WELCOME TO 2012!

Whether you were dining out or swinging on a trapeeze or finger painting or dancing the night away or feeding your pigs or listening to a book on tape or having a conversation about penguins and how bad their lives suck or drinking wine in the snow or thinking about a new year's resolution or knitting or thinking about that someone or participating in an eating contest... Regardless of what you were doing - I hope you were having a great time.

Growing the business to many cities throughout the USA has been on my mind since I started this business in 2009.  However, the model never seemed to be enough to actually grow it without spending a significant amount of time in that destination city. The solution? To start a foundation that will help community-based organizations in each location we have a restaurant. What this means is we no longer have to establish a presence in a city before offering a gift certificate for a restaurant within it.

This is HUGE!  This means that we can literally expand to any restaurant wishing to sign up with us and we can advertise in any city because that's where our market will be. Restaurants will soon be able to sign up via the website without involvement from a sales person (they still need to be locally owned).

Until these changes take place - it's business as usual for you but long days and nights for me.  Be good in this new year and continue to support local efforts.

As always, thanks for your continued support.

Nick Diana (I'm the owner)
