Park Inc held its first ever Flag Football Tournament on Sunday July 11th. With Restaurant Week fast approaching, and the inevitable boost in restaurant traffic, Park Inc decided to host an event in order to promote cardiovascular fitness for its’ staff members. Enticed by the prize of a $25 gas card for each member of the winning team and with the hopes to display athletic prowess on the grid-iron, valets from all corners of the city made it out to Veteran’s Park on a sunny Sunday afternoon in Charlotte. Even more important than the prize, the valets finally had their chance to take down the mighty office team, led by Park Inc President–Brian Haupricht.

At the end of the day only one team could stand victorious, and that team was the Piedmont Boys. Quarterbacked by the laser-guided arm of Billy Cease and with a roster bolstered by the additions of valet-greats such as Chris Martin, Will Brooks and Jin Chang, the Piedmont Boys were a clear favorite out the gate. While the Office Team and all the other great competitors put up a great fight, age and wisdom gave way to invigorated youth and unabashed enthusiasm.

Billy, team captain of the winning team and valet extraordinaire, credits his team’s success to the rapport developed through months of working together at the same location. Billy went on to note, “and it helped that I play like Drew Brees in the fourth quarter.”

With the help of an extra jolt of camaraderie and cardiovascular fitness encouraged by the event, Park Inc was able to effectively manage the spike in business created by Restaurant Week which began the following Friday. While only one team could win the $25 gas cards, it is hard to say that anyone lost in this event, which is what Park Inc is known for: providing a positive experience for our customers and their patrons, all while enjoying what we do and striving for success.
