VIDALIA, Ga. – John Cannon of Vidalia, Ga. was recently selected as a Parker’s 2022 Tendermania winner and was awarded free Parker’s Kitchen Southern Fried Chicken Tenders for one year. Parker’s recently honored Cannon at a special ceremony held at the Parker’s Kitchen store at 105 Queen St. in Vidalia.
“Parker’s is known throughout the region as having the freshest and most delicious chicken tenders, so we decided to host a special Tendermania giveaway,” said Parker’s founder and CEO Greg Parker. “We’re incredibly grateful to loyal Parker’s Rewards members like John, who regularly visit our stores and trust us to provide freshly prepared food, high-quality products and superior customer service.”
Tendermania, a contest that celebrates Parker’s Kitchen’s world-famous hand-breaded Southern Fried Chicken Tenders, ran from September through the end of October at 71 store locations throughout coastal Georgia and South Carolina. Customers earned contest entries with every in-store purchase made through the Parker’s Rewards app. The acclaimed Parker’s Rewards app saves customers time and money at the pump with fuel discounts and exclusive offers that have resulted in more than $15 million in savings to date.
Two winners were randomly selected by the company’s favorite chicken mascot, Scratch, who represents the Parker’s dedication to serving made-from-scratch menu items, including their popular Southern Fried Chicken Tenders to customers across coastal Georgia and South Carolina. The second winner was Joanne Crosby from Walterboro, S.C.
