Soldiers in Iraq create a virtual Farrelli's
February 10, 2009
DU PONT, Wash. -- When the soldiers from Ft. Lewis military base in Washington State were deployed to Iraq, they soon realized that one of the things they missed the most was local pizza restaurant, Farrelli's Wood Fire Pizza in DuPont, Wash. The soldiers got together and contacted the company in hopes that officials would send them some items overseas to remind them of the restaurant.
What they got instead was everything they would find in an actual Farrelli's Wood Fire Pizza establishment, short of the wood fire pizza oven itself.
The company sent branded banners, beer signage, glassware and even authentic Farrelli's clothing to adorn the walls and the soldiers in the virtual Farrelli's Wood Fire Pizza in Iraq, which has been named the Farrelli's Triple Nickel. The company also sent certificates for each member of the company to enjoy a free pizza at any of Farelli's five restaurants upon their return to the United States.
As a result of their support of the men and women of the Armed Forces, Farrelli's Wood Fire Pizza was a recent recipient of the 5 Star Award on behalf of the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve, an honor usually reserved and bestowed upon companies that employ Reserve Armed Forces members.
