Everyone has two choices, either try them or don't. If you try them, let us know what your opinion is...........If you don't try them then you don't really have any thing to add.

I'd like to show you around the restaurant prior to our Grand Opening!
WOW Skip, I bet that's a first!!..

PDQ is a little more close to fast food, like Steak-N-Shake... but for chicken. It's pretty good food, and a great eating experience.

I've been to the original in South Tampa many times and have been smitten with the concept and the food.

Your website states that you serve good quality products. Is your chicken antibiotic free? Many, many women are getting infections from eating chicken with antibiotics. I'm one of them.

I only had one bad experience with PDQ and that was in St. Pete and I reported it because I was a PDQ evangelist from the very beginning... but was surprised with the lackluster corporate service after I mentioned it on Twitter.

Like I said, the Dale Mabry location is excellent. They also really put their managers to work and the employees were over the top excellent. Hopefully you can recreate that here.

It will be only 5 minutes from here and I'm really looking forward to it! I'm a big fan of homemade dressings and sauces. Not a fan of bottled. Anxious to try the lettuce wraps!

Thanks,

Shea - this is the best approach to marketing a restaurant (before it opens) that I have ever seen. You are disarming the naysayers while informing future customers about how your product differs from competitors. I live close to Colony Plaza and will be frequenting PDQ. Nicely done and congratulations on your soon to be new store.
