TA Restaurant Group Crowns 'SweepSteaks' Winners

WESTLAKE, Ohio — TA Restaurant Group revealed the grand prize winners of its fall "SweepSTEAKS" program that ran from Sept. 12 through Nov. 21.

Country Pride, Iron Skillet, Johnson's Corner, 'R' Place and TA Café brands offered customers the chance to win one of more than 100,000 prizes including a $500 and $5,000 cash prize.

Each time a customer purchased a select steak entrée, they received a scratch off card with their check that gave them a chance to win, as CSNews Online previously reported.

Allen K. Westover of San Jose, Calif., won the $500 prize, and Mike Babcock of Maricopa, Ariz., won the $5,000 prize.

"We are excited to finally announce the grand prize winners of our fall SweepSTEAKS," said John Ponczoch, senior vice president of TA and the leader of TA Restaurant Group. "Drivers and guests had a lot of fun with this program and many returned to continue trying for their chance to win one of the grand prizes. If even for a short while, we hope these types of activities can bring entertainment and joy to their day."

Part of Westlake-based TravelCenters of America LLC, the TA Restaurant Group includes more than 785 quick-service, full-service restaurants and other food outlets, including 10 proprietary restaurant brands.
