Chicago Tap Room and Grill Sully's House Offers $20 Promotional Gift Card for New Users of JunoWallet This Weekend

Sully's House and Tap Room, 1501 N. Dayton St., Chicago (773)244-1234, is offering a $20 promotional gift card to the first 1,000 Chicago-area people who download the JunoWallet app to their mobile phone beginning today (Thursday, October 7).

JunoWallet is the #1 selling gift card app only available to iPhone and Android phone users. Sully’s is one of a large number of restaurants and bars that are taking advantage of new technologies that allow them to geo-target their customers within a radius of their front door.  The restaurant determines the offer amount, geographic reach, and length of time. “This offer only works if the user is within a 10 mile radius of the restaurant and JunoWallet users are notified of it when they download the application through “push” technology,” says Chris Sweis, JunoWallet chief mobile officer.

"This is the nation's single largest promotional gift card offering by a restaurant via mobile technology," Sweis said.

"Sully's is a great place to enjoy the Blackhawks game and we wanted to do something special for fans," says Scott Mortier, general manager. "JunoWallet is an amazing app that gives tremendous value to its users."

To get your Sully's promotional gift card (and others), download JunoWallet here. For questions, contact cindy@junowallet.com or by calling 312-651-9000. Restaurants interested in offering gift cards can learn more and register here.
