September 21, 2012

Lenny’s Sub Shop, a 150-unit sub sandwich franchise, launched its first Facebook video contest to honor school teachers nationwide and help celebrate “World Teacher Day” on Oct. 5.

From now through Oct 10, the chain is encouraging the brand’s 87,000-plus Facebook fans to submit creative videos sharing stories of teachers who positively impacted their lives. Then, Oct. 11-12, Lenny’s Facebook fans will vote for their favorite videos, and prizes will be awarded for the grand, second and third place winners.  The grand prize-winning school teacher and nominating student will each win $1,000.

"Lenny’s is giving our fans this creative outlet to honor our nation’s school teachers, and will illustrate the positive impact school teachers make on their students every day," said George Alvord, chairman and CEO of Lenny’s Sub Shops.

"We expect our loyal Facebook fans to showcase their school teachers who were mentors, gave guidance, and encouraged them to realize their potential and follow their dreams," added Brent Alvord, president of Lenny’s Sub Shops.
