Beef ‘O’ Brady’s: The Importance of Community Service

In tough economic times, one of the best ways for a business to stand out and find a way to survive is by taking an active role in the local community. Reed Parker, owner of a Beef ‘O’ Brady’s franchise in Dallas, Georgia, says that his business found great success by getting out into the local community, supporting local schools, sports teams, and more. They’ve raised almost $100,000 for the local school system through community events, participated in teacher for a day programs, and tried to find ways to get involved in the lives of families throughout the community. You can have great food and marketing to get people in the door, but what really makes people come back in a business like that is when they see their investment in you being put back into the local community.
