Rudino’s Grill

Brian Cordileone got his start with Rudino’s working in the kitchen in 1996, less than a month after the Cary-based chain opened the doors of its first location. After graduating from ECU in 2003, Brian returned to the Triangle to become general manager of the Rudino’s in RTP, and later the Apex location. Brian, along with fellow restaurateur and co-owner Michael Robbins opened the doors of Rudino’s Grill in May, earlier this year.

Rudino’s Grill and Sports Pad is an upscale version of the well-loved pizza chain featuring a more robust menu, a full-service bar, 20 HD screens, and perhaps most importantly, a huge projector for watching the big games. There’s a classic sports bar atmosphere loaded with extras every day of the week, from Tuesday night Trivia to Thursday nights with acoustic rocker Travis Proctor to karaoke shindigs every Friday; there is something for everyone. The Sports Pad already boasts well over 500 fans on Facebook, and they’re gearing up for football season with an NFL Kickoff Party September 9 with contests and specials galore.

Want to try the amazing restaurant/sports bar for the first time? Try a 1/2 Off Gift Certificate! Click Here!

The restaurant is also quickly becoming a lunch destination with its signature sandwiches, covered patio, and free wireless internet.

Whiter Teeth Are The New Standard In Beauty And Hygiene

October 26, 2009 By zspotblog

It’s foolish to be self conscious about the color of your teeth. Yet, in a recent survey, 40% of young and older adults reported “feeling bad about my smile” and “wishing I had whiter teeth”. Some said they even smile with their mouth closed or avoid getting their picture taken altogether because of their teeth!

Whether you’re going on a job interview or just out for the evening, you’ll feel better – and be more attractive to others – when your smile is whiter. With services such as Instantly Whiter Teeth Whitening (656-6805) in North Cary you can have that smile in just 30 minutes. Instantly Whiter uses FDA compliant carbamide peroxide and a high-powered LED light to give you great results! No multiple treatments, no dentist visit, no sensitivity. Instantly Whiter is the most affordable place to get your teeth whitened, too. They have lower overhead and pass that savings onto you.

Just like other technologies, teeth whitening has elevated people’s standard for appearance. That’s why shows like “10 Years Younger” and “Instant Makeover” always whiten! Don’t miss out on a great smile – just whiten it!

Glenwood Grill Continues to thrive in Raleigh

May 15, 2009 By holdensCove

Raleigh N.C. – Glenwood Grill, now in business for over 15 years, continues to thrive in Raleigh. I found this restaurant on www.ZSpotlight.com, and tried it for the first time using one of their 1/2 Off Gift Certificates (what an amazing website!) www.ZSpotlight.com/greatdeals. And now I’ve found a new favorite for my family and I to dine once or twice per month. Why do so many continue to find and return to this restaurant time and time again? How do they attract the “big names” – political figures, people from the arts, movie stars, sports personalities and authors? (One of whom has even been known to write a page or two in our bar area.) Why would we be a mid-Glenwood phenomenon in an out-of-the-way place while tons of money is being spent promoting a regional shopping center on one side, and the latest “hot strip” in Raleigh on the other?

There are lots of answers, but they all boil down to this: They simply pay attention to their customers, what they like and what they don’t. Then they work hard to do things that make those customers feel good about being here. With a flexible dress code, fast service, and convenient hours of operation, The Glenwood Grill continues to be a success where other restaurants are having problems. Utilizing great marketing programs like hotel campaigns with www.ZSpotCard.com and advertising with focused restaurant marketing companies such as www.ZSpotlight.com have helped as well.
