Great American Takeout Part 2, Virginia marketing campaign help boost eateries
Restaurants in Virginia are getting a lot of love this week. First, Maryland, Virginia and DC all issued stay-at-home orders and restaurants in the area were able to continue takeout and delivery as essential businesses. Second, Virginia began promoting “Virginia is for Restaurant Lovers Week,” a campaign celebrated from March 30 to April 5. Lastly, today, March 31 is the Great American Takeout Part 2; this is the second in a series of initiatives to increase demand for pickup and delivery orders at a time when restaurants need the business. Social distancing and dining room closures have pummeled restaurant industry sales.
