Wimpy’s Conway is pleased to be a part of the Conway Chamber of Commerce Smart Card promotion. The SMART Card will be handed out at Central Baptist College, Hendrix College, University of Arkansas Community College at Morrilton, & University of Central Arkansas! The SMART Card is a convenient way for college freshmen to get the latest updates on promotions and specials with local Conway and area businesses during the school year. Participating schools include Central Baptist College, Hendrix College, University of Arkansas Community College at Morrilton and the University of Central Arkansas.
About the Chamber of Commerce Smart Card:
Local businesses have the opportunity to welcome more than 3,600 incoming freshmen to the Conway area by way of the collegiate SMART Card.
At the start of the 2012-2013 school year, the Conway Area Chamber of Commerce will distribute the promotional discount card to college freshmen on the campuses of Central Baptist College, Hendrix College, the University of Central Arkansas, and the University of Arkansas Community College at Morrilton.
The SMART Card comes in the form of a plastic wallet card and a plastic keychain tag that is color specific to each college. Card sponsors’ logos and the SMART Card website will be printed on the back of the wallet card. The website address and a quick-response, or QR, code will be printed on the back of the keychain tag. Users can scan the QR code with their smartphones, which will send them directly to the SMART Card website that lists the sponsors and participating businesses.
This is the second year the Chamber has issued the SMART Card to college freshmen. In previous years, first-year students received “welcome bags” filled with promotional items and fliers from local businesses. Whitney Farris, director of communications at the Chamber, said that the SMART Card is a modern, more environmentally friendly alternative to the “welcome bags” and was well received by last year’s college freshmen.
“The SMART Card is a greener concept that was a hit among technologically savvy college students,” Farris said. “Participating businesses told us that they received several phone calls and visits from freshmen looking to redeem their special offers.”
To learn more about sponsoring the SMART Card or about serving as a participating business on the SMART Card website, email Whitney Farris or call 501-932-5411.
I totally missed out on what might have been the coolest thing to happen in Conway this month! It all started this evening I was in my office working late when I started getting text messages from friends asking me if Ryan Mallett was really at our Wimpy’s Conway location. Of course I instinctively said no, why would he be, but then I thought to pull up Twitter and sure enough, I saw this tweet:
Should I do a contest for free food Wimpy’s?
— Ryan Mallett (@Ryan_Mallett_15) April 13, 2012
I immediately called the restaurant to see what the story was from the staff and they informed me that they really didn’t realize who he was until he had already left. They went on to tell me that he picked up the check for several people that showed up at the restaurant after he announced that he was there. Keep in mind we had no clue that he was coming, this came totally out of the blue…
We’ve posted some photos from his visit on our Facebook page, you can also find them thumbnailed below:
Tyler Stauch completed the Wimpy’s Burger Challenge this evening at our Conway location. Congratulations to Tyler on becoming our third winner at The Wimpy’s Burger Challenge. Tyler has challenged a friend to a head to head battle in two weeks, so let’s see if he can do it again!!!
Recently we have had several people in Conway ask us recently to consider offering some lunch and dinner options that will fit into the Primal Diet. Having done a little research online this is what I have been able to find out about the primal (or Paleo Diet):
The modern dietary regimen known as the paleolithic diet (abbreviated paleo diet or paleodiet), also popularly referred to as the caveman diet, Stone Age diet and hunter-gatherer diet, is a nutritional plan based on the presumed ancient diet of wild plants and animals that various hominid species habitually consumed during the Paleolithic era—a period of about 2.5 million years duration that ended around 10,000 years ago with the development of agriculture. In common usage, such terms as the “Paleolithic diet” also refer to the actual ancestral human diet. Centered on commonly available modern foods, the “contemporary” Paleolithic diet consists mainly of fish, grass-fed pasture raised meats, vegetables, fruit, roots, and nuts, and excludes grains, legumes, dairy products, salt, refined sugar, and processed oils.
First popularized in the mid-1970s by gastroenterologist Walter L. Voegtlin, this nutritional concept has been promoted and adapted by a number of authors and researchers in several books and academic journals. A common theme in evolutionary medicine, Paleolithic nutrition is based on the premise that modern humans are genetically adapted to the diet of their Paleolithic ancestors and that human genetics have scarcely changed since the dawn of agriculture, and therefore that an ideal diet for human health and well-being is one that resembles this ancestral diet. Proponents of this diet argue that modern human populations subsisting on traditional diets allegedly similar to those of Paleolithic hunter-gatherers are largely free of diseases of affluence, and that two small prospective studies of the Paleolithic diet in humans have shown some positive health outcomes. Supporters point to several potentially therapeutic nutritional characteristics of allegedly preagricultural diets.
In all honesty, we are totally open to new things at Wimpy’s. However, not knowing a lot about this diet we are going to need your help, what menu options would you like to see us add? Since our beef is never frozen and comes fresh from the farm more or less, could our hamburger patties be wrapped in a lettuce wrap alongside your favorite condiments?
If you have some suggestions, please don’t hesitate to drop us a suggestion below…
Congratulations to Chris Owens of Conway who completed the Wimpy’s Challenge in Record Time!!! At the beginning of the competition it was apparent to everyone in attendance that Chris had a plan. He immediately went to work on the 10″ 4lb burger, one pound of french fries, and a 24oz. milkshake with a vengeance.
Knowing that it takes somewhere between 20-3o minutes for the stomach to tell the brain that it’s full he tricked his own system by consuming everything in under 30 minutes. There are some videos embedded below of Chris’s awesome victory over the Wimpy’s Challenge:
