Kroger offers double fuel points during the summer

Double fuel points will begin Memorial Day weekend and continue through the summer driving season. Kroger customers can earn double fuel points on regular grocery purchases every time they shop Friday, Saturday, and Sunday until September 1st.

A digital coupon is available to customers beginning this week for download through Kroger’s mobile app or online here. The first coupon will be valid for every weekend from May 24th through June 30th, with subsequent monthly coupons appearing later for a limited time. “Based on our customers’ response to last year’s summer fuel promotion, we know how much they appreciate saving money at the pump,” said Joe Bell, Manager of Marketing and Public Affairs for Kroger’s Delta Division.

New Firehouse Subs to open

Another restaurant is opening on Union Avenue in Midtown Memphis. Firehouse Subs will be the latest restaurant to call Midtown home. 

Firehouse Subs is planning to be open by mid-July in the same shopping center as FedEx Office and Verizon Wireless. The space is currently being leased by FedEx Office and will undergo renovations to split the current FedEx Office store into two spaces.

Firehouse Subs has a fast casual restaurant concept.  This will be the sixth Firehouse Subs to open in the Memphis area.  The Union Avenue location will join locations in East Memphis, Germantown, Collierville, on Stage Road in Memphis, and Southaven, Mississippi.

The Trophy Room will bring, events, sports, variety to Collierville

 

(WMC-TV) - A new restaurant going up in Collierville will have more TVs and events for its patrons than any other establishment in the area.  

Former alderman Tony Sarwar is the man behind The Trophy Room.  His sports bar will host a variety of events and cater to sports fans, families, and women.

"If you ask anyone in Collierville, it's a stigma.  Everyone says, 'There is nothing to do in Collierville,'" said Sarwar.  "We do have really nice restaurants, shopping, we have a lot of festivals, a lot going on.  But the image is that there is nothing going on in Collierville."

Sarwar is looking to change that.

"We want to have an event every night," he explained.  "Bingo, karaoke, trivia, bands."

The mastermind behind The Trophy Room is also planning to host ladies' nights, poker nights, and even set up a Wii to give visitors a unique option when it comes to entertainment.
