Papa Murphy's Take 'N' Bake Pizza Promotion to Help Create Visibility for the Gary/Chicago Airport

(CROWN POINT, IN) In an effort to promote increased visibility for the Gary/Chicago International Airport and its regular flights to destinations in Florida, the 19 Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana Papa Murphy's Take 'N' Bake Pizza locations along with Southeast Airlines, the St. Petersburg/Clearwater Visitors and Convention Bureau and the Gary/Chicago Airport have teamed to develop a promotion.

The promotion which will run though the month of August, 2004 will award a trip for two for 4 days and 3 nights to the Sirata Beach Resort on St. Petersburg Beach. The winner will be determined from a drawing from two qualified customers from each of the Papa Murphy's 19 locations. In addition to the trip to Florida, the winner will receive free admission tickets to several Tampa Bay area attractions, and a rental car.

For a chance to qualify for the trip to Florida via Southeast Airlines and the Gary/Chicago Airport, just visit any participating Chicagoland or Northwest Indiana Papa Murphy's Take 'N' Bake Pizza location to pick up a game piece. The promotion is open to adults 18 and older and no purchase is necessary.

"One of the goals of this program is to build upon the initial interest of area residents to utilize the Gary/Chicago Airport as an easy travel alternative to O'Hare and Midway Airport," said Mary Nielsen, Director of Marketing for the 19 Papa Murphy's Take 'N' Bake Pizza locations in Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana. "We feel providing this continued exposure to the marketplace for the airport through our stores will also help the Gary/Chicago Airport achieve one of its goals which is to serve as an engine for economic growth for Northwest Indiana and the South Suburban region. It's an element that will help to benefit all of us in business in this market," Nielsen concluded.

The 19 Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana Papa Murphy's locations are franchisees of the Vancouver, Washington-based Papa Murphy's International, the world's largest take-and-bake pizza company, and the sixth largest pizza chain in the United States.
