Pizza Inn is kicking off its 60th-anniversary celebration with a campaign centered on local heroes, a news release said. Customers can nominate their "heroic" friend or loved one for a chance to win free pizza for a year. This all wraps around the brand's JoJo mascot and JoJo's Heroes and asks all nominators to explain why their "hero" loves Pizza Inn and deserves the recognition.
The brand's marketing department and franchise marketing board member will pick 60 winners from all entries made by Aug. 26. The chain will also give away what would have been a new car in its founding year, a 1958 Ford Skyliner hardtop convertible to one of its loyalty program customers this summer, as well as other prices and free buffets through social media all this year.
