Boston Market to give away 4,000 dinners for Daylight Savings
March 16, 2006
INDIANAPOLIS— Boston Market restaurants will give away more than 4,000 free rotisserie chicken lunches April 2. According to a news release, nine Indianapolis locations and one Muncie, Ind., store will participate.
The one-day event is designed to give back the "lost" hour to Indy residents by preparing their Sunday meal for them.
"When we heard our friends in Indiana would be changing their clocks for the first time in more than 30 years, we knew we had to help them ease their transition," said Trey Hall, chief brand officer, Boston Market Corporation. "We like to think that when our guests choose Boston Market, they get back a much-needed hour of time for their lives. Our everyday mission of giving you more time for your life will have added significance on this historic Sunday."
Last year, legislators approved a bill mandating that the state sync up with the rest of the nation in observance of daylight-saving time this spring. The victory ended a deadlocked, decades-long discussion.
