These big-name Fresno restaurants want to give you 20% off. Here’s how to get the deal
It’s been a rough couple of years for restaurants.
But most have made it through and are in the mood to celebrate. So a group of about 20 restaurants in Fresno County and the California Restaurant Association are launching a program to say thank you to customers with a 20% discount on gift cards, said Kevin Lisitsin, owner of Rocket Dog Gourmet Brats & Brew and Amalgamation Brewing Co., and secretary of the association’s Fresno chapter.
“We really want to celebrate that we made it through COVID,” he said. “We’re really thankful for all of our patrons, feel overwhelmed by a lot of regulars that keep coming back … and just want to celebrate being open and being able to give back to the customer.”
How to get the discounts: Go to the website www.DineOutFresnoCounty.com. Buy the 20% off gift certificates online between Friday, Sept. 10 and Sunday, Sept. 19. The gift cards can be used on breakfast, lunch and dinner food starting Monday Sept. 27.
Something different about this particular promotion? Sometimes with discount deals, restaurants take a hit, hoping bringing new people in will make up for the loss of money from the discount.
Not so with this one. It’s a partnership with the California Restaurant Association, and the association and sponsors are reimbursing the restaurants part – if not all – of the discount the restaurants are giving away.
