This was created to keep all profits within the community! Eat and Shop LOCAL!!
Some key numbers from our studies:
- 86% will spend more than the deal amount
- 28% become repeat customers
- 33% of all deals sold will go unused but still paid on
- I would like to extend the opportunity to any restaurant or business that is interested in doing one of these. Please feel free to contact me at jharris@uniqueic.com or 812-280-2146

Steve, you're a good guy, a friend, and I like you, but you need to throttle back the curmudgeon persona. I don't want newcomers to this friendly bar treated like that. Please don't do it.

This is not about a curmudgeonly persona....It's about someone selling something to local consumers KNOWING full well that 33% of them will never ever use the product that was sold. The block I grew up on, THAT is a scam. I don't give two happy hoots about the (real or perceived) benefits to the local (in this case restaurants)....What I DO care about is someone scamming the general public. You can paint a pig all the pretty colors you want to but once you put that pig back in the barnyard, it's still a pig...Edit or delete as you see fit.
BTW...I love you....man.
