    How Would You Get People to a Grand Opening??

    So today I think I'm going to sign the lease for a new shop! I am getting a 2 bay shop and I'm thinking about doing a grand opening. I figured I would give away free drinks and hot dogs along with coupons and gift certificates....Well I wont be able to give many gift certificates away if no one is there lol I know a few people at a big classic rock radio station so I think I am going to see if I can get them out there that day. What are some other ways I would be able to get people out there?

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

    The radio remote is a great idea. Free food always brings out people...me included. Throw in some bikini wearing flat bellies and you have a winning day.

    Hey man, good luck to you!

    I'll be opening up a shop myself within the next year or so, as soon as I find a place similar to what you've found.

    Free food seems to draw a lot of people. Just need to put out some flyers or advertise some how so people know about it. The radio would be a great way to do it

    The free food is the ticket IMO and as far as the women with flat stomachs, well that's always nice but you don't wanna "skank out" too much, kinda like places that spell things wrong to look cool like Ridez for instance. With that said, stick with one woman with a large rack that can be seen but not too over the top, don't wanna upset the other 50% of your customers out there......women!

    Good luck to you!
