When we think of “anniversaries”, we often think of the times we’ve spent together. And, whether it’s your 1^st or 50^th, an anniversary always seems to bring a smile to our face as we celebrate the memories we’ve created with one another.

Beginning this week, we’re doing just that, as Spaghetti Warehouse Restaurants celebrates its 40^th anniversary. For us, this is a special milestone. For four decades, we have been fortunate to have you, your family and your friends as our special guests…sharing the company of one another…together.

To show our appreciation, we are going to throw the biggest celebration – yet – in our history. How big? First, we’re going to “blast off” with a huge party on June 5^th at every Spaghetti Warehouse and, from there, we are going to go really big! How big, you say? Big enough to drive a trolley through it!

But, first, be sure and “save the date” – Tuesday, June 5^th. That day – all day and into the evening – we’re featuring a special 40 percent off promotion for the two entrees that “started it all”—Spaghetti & Meatballs and our ‘Incredible’ 15-Layer Lasagne. We’re also offering a third choice; one of our new entrées – Spaghetti Pesto Basilica. 

That same day, check out our all-new 40^th anniversary menu featuring our most popular favorites along with 11 new items.  You won’t believe all of the fresh new tastes we’ve come up with, including five new entrees, new appetizers and much more!

From there, we’re going to hit the road! To steal a line from a popular country music tune, we’re going to be “coming to your city” with the start of our 40^th anniversary Trolley Tour.  Beginning with our first Spaghetti Warehouse, our dine-in trolley car has been the centerpiece of our restaurants. From June 20^th through the end of September, we’re going to bring our trolley to our restaurants and to a host of special events in the cities where we have locations.

Along the way, there will be even more fun and excitement…

• We’ve created a 40^th anniversary online photo album and a chance to win your share of $10,000 in cash and weekly prizes.
• We’ll be inviting you to upload photos to our photo album from the “good times” you’ve experienced in the past, present and future visits to Spaghetti Warehouse.
• We’ll be picking photos at random for weekly prizes and some really grand prizes at the end of the contest.  To sweeten the deal – we’ll give you a free appetizer when you register.
• We’re also joining together with the American Cancer Society as a way of helping others to make a difference in the communities served by our restaurants.

By now, you’ve probably figured out this is no “limited time offer”. We’re going to celebrate our anniversary for the rest of 2012!

And, because no party is complete without a little music and some cameras rolling, we’ve created a song and a video just for this occasion.  Remember what it was like to sit back and enjoy home movies? We’ve put together a video capturing how you – our guests – feel about Spaghetti Warehouse and what it’s meant when you and your family and friends have come together to spend some time with us.

To hear and see more of what we’re talking about, we invite you to visit a special website – www.40years.meatballs.com. There’s just SO MUCH to our celebration, we want you to check it out so you don’t miss any of the fun. See you soon!!
