The Popeyes on Reading Road in Reading is throwing a full-blown grand reopening party this afternoon, complete with giveaways, a prize wheel, and a guest appearance from a hometown football legend. The celebration runs from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., and organizers say the first 50 people in line will walk away with $50 Popeyes gift cards. The event comes on the heels of a management change at the restaurant and is expected to draw a healthy crowd.
Event Details And Giveaways
According to the City of Reading, the grand reopening at 9200 Reading Road officially kicks off at 2 p.m. and wraps at 4 p.m. Guests can take a spin on a prize wheel, snap photos with Poppy, the Popeyes mascot, and, if they are early enough, snag one of those coveted gift cards. The post lists Bengals Hall of Famer Anthony Munoz as a scheduled special guest and reiterates that the first 50 people in line will receive $50 Popeyes gift cards.
Anthony Munoz And Local Tie-Ins
Anthony Munoz, a Pro Football Hall of Famer, is no stranger to community events. His Munoz Foundation frequently teams up with local businesses for family-friendly gatherings, and he has turned up at Popeyes celebrations before. At a Huber Heights grand opening, he took part in a ceremonial check presentation and posed for photos with Poppy, as reported by the Dayton Daily News.
Visitor Notes
Those $50 gift cards are not expected to last long. The Facebook post stresses that they are reserved for the first 50 people in line and that the festivities end promptly at 4 p.m. The City of Reading post also highlights that the Reading Popeyes is now under new management, which organizers say is the reason for the grand reopening celebration.
