Monday night I found myself sitting at the window at the Saucer next to some of the top managers from Jillian’s. I got to talking to them about how they are going to reconfigure their space; I reported on their plans Monday night. They’ve now sent me their list of upcoming specials, and it’s worth a post of its own. It looks like they’re really going all out to get Downtowners and other locals in there more often.
The big news is what they are doing for NFL Sundays. They’ll have $2 Bud and Bud Light drafts, and $3.99 wings during the games. Furthermore, if you go you’ll have a chance to win $5,000 every week. To enter, you’ll fill out an entry form when you get there, and then when the second half of the Titans game starts, a name is drawn. If the opening kickoff of the second half is run back for a touchdown, that person wins the 5 grand.
Here are their other promotions:
– Monday: $10 for unlimited bowling
– Tuesday: Pitchers and Pins. Buy a pitcher of beer ($8.99 domestic/$9.99 import) and get 2 free games of bowling, including shoe rental. If a colored pin comes up and you bowl a strike, you’ll get a ticket for a $2 pitcher of your choice.
– Wednesday: SIN night bowling league… see the link above to my previous post, I talked about it there.
– Friday: This is still in the works, but they’re thinking about doing a trivia night from 8 to 10 PM.
– Saturday: NCAA all day.
Also, this Saturday, they will show the UFC fight for free, and will offer $2 Bud/Bud Lights until the fights are over.
And at some point in the future, they’re going to do a Jillian’s pool party on a Tuesday with free pool all day.
I have to give them credit, they’ve come up with some good incentives to get people in the door. Maybe a year from now, I’ll be sitting in Jillian’s window staring at the Saucer, instead of sitting in the Saucer window staring at Jillian’s.
