This just came my way. It's being reported that Denny's will run a commercial during the Superbowl offering a free grand slam breakfast on February, 3rd, 2009. Haven't seen much in the way of sites promoting this and I'm not going to be able to watch the Superbowl tonight. Would love to hear back from someone if they see it on television. We actually have a Denny's here in Charlotte. Well one left, just north of the city.Here's the copy:
Every guest from 6AM - 2PM on Tuesday will receive 1 free Grand slam, and 1 free coupon book with 8 coupons in it. Each coupon book has 4 BOGO's, 2- 25% off coupons, 1 coupon good for free dessert , and 1 coupon good for a free order of pancake puppies. Each Denny's in the US received 1,000 of these coupon books to hand out to guests on Tuesday who order a free Grand Slam.
Per Denny's Corporate every store also received 500 Grand Slam rain check coupons. Denny's has instructed each manger to hand these rain checks out good for a free Grand Slam to any guest who can't wait.
Denny's spent 3 million on the Super Bowl ad, and tons more on a full page ad this coming Monday in USA Today. They are taking this very seriously and instructing all stores to staff as if it's a major Holiday and for the staff to be as friendly as humanly possible.
Commercial during the SuperBowl will announce this.
And don't forget that we'll have iHop's Free Pancake Day on the 24th as well.
edit: This has now been confirmed. A copy of the commercial is after the fold if you want to view it.
Hey just saw the promo for the free grand slam dinner on Tuesday,
looks like it's the real deal...get in line!

And such a line it's going to be.
Thanks for the comment.
Yes, it's true. Saw it just a minute ago.

Thanks for the confirmation as well as the comment. I'm trying to find the video for the commercial somewhere on line now. Hulu has it but that's US only.
Our single Denny's here in Charlotte is going to be swamped Tuesday. :)
I saw it. It's not a joke. I was watching the Super Bowl, and the commercial came on. I'm headin' over there Tuesday, that's for sure. =]

Thanks for the response. Didn't get a change to watch the game and haven't seen the commercial yet although I see a lot of hits when I search for videos.
