Eat'n Park Celebrates a Milestone

In honor of its anniversary, kids meals this week are only 99 cents—and mascot Smiley will be stopping nearby.

Remember: Restaurants’ 99 cent Kids’ Meals promotion is coming to an end on Friday.

The promotion is capping off the 25th birthday celebration of Smiley, Eat’n Park’s well-known mascot, so in addition to the 99-cent meals, all kids also will receive a free birthday treat bag with stickers, temporary tattoos, a collectible Smiley wristband, and of course, a Smiley cookie.

“We at Eat’n Park treasure our relationships with families and communities,” said Trina DeMarco, community marketing manager. “So we wanted families to share in the fun of Smiley’s 25th birthday celebration. The specially priced Kids’ Meals and birthday treat bags add to the fun. Kids are loving them.”
