Doing Business the Old Fashion Way

September 3rd, 2010

Classic Chevrolet in Sugar Land says “Relax…and Enjoy the Difference”.  Some may remember the days of doing business on a handshake.  Believe it or not, a “handshake” sealed the deal.  That’s how my grandfather’s made their first car deal, but that was year’s ago.  In more recent years, walking in to a car dealership has been compared with having a root canal…no fun at all.  Classic Chevrolet has changed that though, and the TCRN Sugar Land Network prides itself on truly having the Best Businesses in Sugar Land!

From the moment you park, you won’t notice a foot race to see who can tackle you first as you get out of your car.  You are free to get out and actually look around.  Imagine that?  Now, someone will soon come out to see if you have any questions, or need assistance, but if you say “I’m just looking right now”…they will let you look, and simply give you a business card and let you know that they are there if you need assistance.  It is a very refreshing concept, but has been missing for more than 50 years.

When you do have questions, or have selected a vehicle, your sales person will do the rest.  What I mean is, at Classic Chevrolet, the sales person is the only person you will need to deal with when it comes to buying your vehicle.  You don’t have an army of managers that will come out and try to “close the deal”.  The sales people at Classic Chevrolet are empowered to negotiate a discounted and fair price for the vehicle, and will be the easiest car purchase you’ve ever made…unless you have purchased from Classic before!

It’s no wonder why Classic Chevrolet in Sugar Land is the fastest growing Chevy dealer in not just Houston or Texas, but the entire United States!  From customer service to selection, and price to the staff, Classic Chevrolet sets the benchmark for the automotive industry.

If you currently own a General Motors product, they have an award winning parts and service department too.  When you’re ready to trade, upgrade or just need an additional vehicle, Classic Chevrolet in Sugar Land will be there for you.  Whether you want a quality pre-owned vehicle, or a brand new car, truck, van or SIV, Classic Chevrolet staffs some of the friendliest people in town.  Stop by and see for yourself.  They do business the old fassion way:  a handshake and a smile!

New Name, Same Games

August 19th, 2010

There is a new name in Family Entertainment, but that is all that has changed!  Sugar Land, and surrounding areas, can still enjoy the same games that they have come to love at the same address, except now it is called Lido Fun Center (formerly know as Incredible Pizza Company)!  Same owners, same fun…just a different name!

Kids of all ages (adults too) can spend hours playing hundreds of games, trying to see who can win the most tickets!  If you have seen it in an arcade somewhere else….Lido Fun Center probably has it. 

Lido Fun Center also has great attractions!  You can choose from bowling, putt-putt golf, bumper cars and the thrill of racing around a challenging course on the go-carts.  All of this is inside, under one roof!!!

Lido Fun Center has an All You Can Eat buffet with not just pizza, but a wide selection of some of your favorite foods, such as meatloaf, tacos, chicken tenders, enchiladas, etc, PLUS a salad bar.  You definitely won’t leave hungry.  They also have an endless supply of ice cream that is all part of the All You Can Eat buffet.

Whether it is a birthday party, corporate event, family reunion, or just a get together for a large group of friends, you can enjoy your special event in one of four themed specialty rooms.  Just call, schedule, show up, and have fun.  The friendly staff at Lido will make sure everything is taken care of…including “clean up”!

Lido Fun Center is located at 3412 Highway 6 South in Sugar Land, 77478, and the phone number is 281 313-0631.  Open seven days a week for you to come any day you want.

Lido Fun Center is part of the TCRN Sugar Land Network, so you don’t want to forget your TCRN Preferred Customer Card.  Show the front desk your TCRN Preferred Customer Card, and you will receive a FREE $5 game card when you purchase a $5 game card, OR receive one kids buffet FREE when you purchase another All You Can Eat Buffet at equal or greater value.  (One Preferred Customer Card per party, per visit)

So, remember the name Lido Fun Center for all of your family entertainment!  “Fun is their middle name.”

The Weather is Great

August 6th, 2010

It seemed like it rained almost every day in July, but that was then, and this is now.  Now, the sun is out and the weather is great.  What is it great for?  All kinds of things!

I not only love to eat out, but I love to eat out on the patio!  The TCRN Sugar Land Network has several restaurants that offer the Best in “patio dining”.  It may be a little on the warm side during lunch…but dinner time is perfect!

You can go to Amici and experience the Best Italian food in Sugar Land on a spacious outdoor patio in the heart of Sugar Land’s Town Square.  Bruce and Jeff, the owners, always have tantalizing specials that will make your taste buds go in to euphoric overload!  Plus, you can use your TCRN Preferred Cusotmer Card and receive a FREE pizza appetizer when you order two dinner entrees.  Give them your TCRN card when you pay the bill, and the pizza is FREE!

Vineyard on the Square…I could spend hours on their spacious patio, shaded by mature trees just of Sugar Land Town Square’s Plaza.  Marc Hachach and his staff aim to please.  Sit back, order something from the bistro and enjoy your favorite bottle of wine.  By the glass, or by the bottle…all the wine is affordably priced, and you get 10% OFF your food bill with your TCRN Preferred Customer Card!

Kona Grill is said to have the Best Happy Hour in Sugar Land.  Near First Colony Mall, you can enjoy award winning sushi, and other favorites, on an expansive patio, and watch the world pass by.  Take a group, or just you and that special someone, a good time will for sure be had.  If your food bill exceeds $25, use your TCRN Preferred Customer Card and they will take $5 OFF your bill.  WOW this TCRN card is cool!

If you want Mexican Food, then go to Escalantes!  Bask in the great outdoors and sip on margaritas and the Best Mexican food in town.  Remember that TCRN Preferred Customer Card, well you can get a FREE table side guacamole or queso blanco appetizer when at least one person orders an entree.  That is a $10 value!

As you can see, the weather is great, and our community has some great places to enjoy it.  Whenever you want to eat out, turn to www.sugarlandnetwork.org for all of your dining choices!

Happy eating!
