Got your wristband on? Have we got a deal for you!
NORWICH – Gus Macker participants will have the opportunity to save some cash at a number of local businesses over the weekend – if they’re sporting their Gus Macker wristbands, that is.
For a second consecutive year, area business owners have offered Macker players a discount on select items, a move many said they considered beneficial not only to their respective stores, but to the community and the tournament itself.
“I’m very community-minded and I like everybody to succeed, I want to see this wrist band project succeed and I want to see Gus Macker succeed,” said Sharon Jeffer, owner and operator of the Parson’s Daughter Candy Shoppe, 6 West Park Place, who will offer $1 Super Jaw Breakers to wristband-bearing athletes or anyone with a cutout of the Parson’s Daughter coupon from the Mackerville Gusette. “I think there are a lot of hidden treasures here in Norwich that people have an opportunity to find.”
While Jeffer decided to offer a specific product to prospective customers, Scott McLaughlin, owner of McLaughlin’s Department Store, 27 South Broad St., took a more uncategorical approach – participants in the 3-on-3 basketball tournament will enjoy $5 off any purchase over $50.
“Gus Macker is a great event for us in the summertime and we try to take advantage of that,” said McLaughlin. “It’s an extremely busy weekend for us.”
In similar fashion, Mackers sitting down for a quick mid-day meal between games at Dusty’s Dairy Bar and Grille, Route 12 North, will enjoy a free small ice cream cone with the purchase of lunch.
“We tried it last year and it’s a nice extra promotional thing to do,” stated Dusty’s Dairy Bar and Grille owner Renee Byrne, who added she hoped the wrist band savings might “draw a little attention out this way.”
Other local businesses taking part in the promotion include McNeil Jewelers, Portofino’s Pizza, Hoppie’s Restaurant, First Edition Book Store, Carmen’s Cafe, Beadle’s Bar and Lounge, Nina’s Pizzeria, The Stadium Bar and Grille, Two Sisters Cafe and the newly-opened Thymely Treasures and Gifts.
