Combo Day

Ponder Enterprises, Inc. and the Hardee’s of Donalsonville partnered with the Seminole County football team and Quarterback club for the third straight year.  The first year Ponder Enterprises set a record nationwide for the most Hand-Breaded Chicken Tenders sold in a single day.  This year they decided to mix things up and made the theme Combo Day, striving to sell the most combos in a single day.  The previous record for Donalsonville and the company was 688 sold.  For Combo Day, held the Friday of Labor Day Weekend, a new record was set with 860 combos sold.  With the new record accomplished, Hardee’s donated $500 to the Quarterback Club.

Combo purchases for breakfast, lunch and dinner were all tallied in the count.  Fans that wore their Green and White school colors received $1 off a combo purchase.  And with your purchase, customers were entered to win prizes including a tool set, grilling tools, picnic basket, set of 52 free combos, season tickets to Troy University football, and two tickets to the UGA versus TN ball game.

The morning kicked off with a radio remote with the Head Football coach for the Indians and the local station that covers Seminole County football.  Inside the restaurant, customers could watch highlight film from 2011 ball games.  After school, the AP students set up in the lobby and offered free face painting.  The Hardee’s of Donalsonville loves to partner with the local school, their students and sports teams.

Mike did a great job setting up the highlights reel.  Eventually we found something to hold the DVD player!

AP students had fun face painting after school.
