You may recall Marion’s having a deal like this a few years back. The restaurant usually features their 1965 Menu Anniversary promotion every five years, and the last time was in 2005.
But, due to the economy, Marion’s owner Roger Glass said they decided to move the special up a year.
“It has been a tough year for people in Dayton, so we felt we had to do something — give something back,” said Glass, citing the exit of businesses including NCR and GM.
“People (of Dayton) have been mighty nice to us,” he added. “We wanted to show that we’re still here and we’re not going anywhere.”
Glass said, if previous anniversary sales are an indicator, that Monday will be extremely busy at the restaurants.
“We’re going to be jammed from the moment we open to the moment we close,” he said, “but we will have extra help. There are ex-employees who want to come back and help out.”
Glass, who added that the restaurant will probably resume its regularly scheduled anniversary specials next year, said he will be at the Shroyer Road location on Monday.
If anyone wants to stop by and talk to him, he said, “They can just ask for Roger.”
Area restaurants are at 711 Shroyer Road in Oakwood, 50 E. Stroop Road in Kettering, 241 N. Main St. in Centerville, 8991 Kingsridge Drive in Centerville, 1320 N. Fairfield Road in Beavercreek, 3443 N. Dixie Drive in Dayton and 404 W. National Road in Englewood.
