TA's Quaker Steak & Lube 'CeLUBErates' Birthday

WESTLAKE, Ohio — Quaker Steak & Lube is celebrating its 43rd birthday by giving away thousands of prizes throughout March and April to its customers, the Lube Nation. This celebrates the history and longevity of the brand.

The CeLUBEration features instant win scratch-off cards with prizes that total more than $20,000 at each Quaker Steak & Lube restaurant. Customers who purchase two entrees will receive a scratch-off card. Every card is a winner, offering prizes that include $100 gift cards, 100-ounce Lube Tube drink dispensers, free wings for a year, and a variety of free and discounted food offers, including free appetizers and desserts. Diners can also win the CeLUBErate Cake Shake, made with sweet vanilla ice cream blended with party cake and topped with whipped cream and sprinkles.

Scratch-off cards are available at Quaker Steak & Lube restaurants now through April 12, or while supplies last, and can be redeemed through May 5.

The restaurant chain is also giving gifts to guests who buy gift cards. Those who purchase Quaker Steak & Lube gift cards will receive a $10 bonus card for every $50 in gift cards they buy. The bonus cards are available through June 15 and may be redeemed through June 30.

"Now is a great time to get gifts for springtime events like Mother's Day, Father's Day, and graduations," said John Ponczoch, senior vice president of the TA Restaurant Group, which owns and franchises Quaker Steak & Lube. "The bonus cards allow us to show appreciation to our guests — they receive a gift for themselves when purchasing a gift card for others."

Quaker Steak & Lube is also holding its NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament online Bracket Challenge. The competitor who guesses the winners of all 63 games correctly, or a perfect bracket, will win a $1 million grand prize.

Additionally, the person who picks 60 of the games correctly will win a first place prize of a 2017 Ford Mustang, and one person from each Quaker Steak & Lube location with the best bracket will win free wings for a year. Should there be a tie for either the grand or first place prizes, a tie-breaker will be determined by the closest prediction of total cumulative points for the championship game on April 3. Bracket selections can be made at www.TheLube.com/bracket-challenge by March 16 at noon.

Quaker Steak & Lube has more than 50 locations in 14 states. Part of Westlake-based TravelCenters of America LLC, the TA Restaurant Group includes more than 850 quick service and full service restaurants and other food outlets, including 10 proprietary restaurant brands.
