That headline will shine like gold in just a moment.
Hey, Edmonton, have you heard of this place called Hudsons?
Of course you have. You’ve probably watched an Oilers game at one of the local chain’s four restaurant/bars.
Well, on their way to Calgary*, Hudsons is stopping at South Common and opening up a fifth Edmonton spot.
That in itself would be enough to get me to write something. But there’s more.
Hudsons Canadian Tap House is officially opening their South Edmonton Common location tomorrow night, 9pm, but next Wednesday will be their first Wing Wednesday.
For that, they’ve got something that really caught my eye. (I’m a sucker for chicken wings, previously having a standing Wednesday date with the poultry part.) Next Wednesday, the new Hudsons location will offer free wings for one year to the first 100 customers after 7pm. That will mean one order of wings for 52 weeks.
If South Edmonton Common wasn’t so far from my place of work I’d sit outside their door next Wednesday. Heck, I still have time to find a way to get out of work early for sweet, delicious wings.
Oh, Hudsons is also offering a $20 gift card to the first 100 people to print and present the invite you see in this story (find the actual invite here) both tomorrow and Saturday night. You could use that money to buy wings.
* Hudsons opens its first Calgary location in the spring of 2010.
