I can't imagine waiting in line for 2-3 hours to save $10.....I guess times are really tough in NEO.
YUP. Gasoline is nearly $4/gallon and unemployment is higher than ever. People are struggling in NEO. I'd imagine this 23-cent deal will put a smile on some folks faces and they will be able to fill their stomachs without breaking the bank. To some, ordering out can be a rare occurrence during tough times. Hopefully the ones that can benefit from this offer will take advantage...
Interesting,
There was a line at the local Poppa Johns on the way home tonight that wrapped around the complex, I would guess that it was about 100 people.
I didn't have time to stop ...
Not sure if they were boycotting or picking up .23 pizzas

You know if you just went to work for that hour or two you could have just paid full price for the pizza and come out even.
Stores in Columbus just shut down.

So far, they are doing a great job at boycotting baskets in their series with Boson...
I think that this whole thing was to get more people TOO Poppa John's, maybe business was lacking and now they have people flocking to thier store, If these same people were so against the T Shirt thing, WOULD THEY HAVE SHOWN UP AT THE STORES FOR CHEAP PIZZA'S ???
If these same people like the pizza they got, many will be rerturning, it's a win / win for PJ's, other than a day of BAD press.

From link.....
Papa John's estimated that they sold an estimated 75,000 pizzas on Thursday in Ohio during a promotion that offered pizza lovers the chance to snag a pie for just 23-cents. More than 80 Papa John's locations in Cleveland, Akron, Youngstown, Toledo, and Columbus took park in the one-day special.
The promotion netted more than $17,500, with all proceeds going to the LeBron James Family Foundation. Papa Johns also donated an additional $10,000 to James' foundation, as well as another $10,000 to the Cavaliers Youth Fund.

I also heard from a few surrounding Pizza Shop owners/employees that last Thursday was WAY busier than normal. I guess everyone had Pizza on their mind and the folks that were scared off by the long Papa John's lines, went elsewhere for a pie!
