Phelan Family Brands Serves 2,085 Military Guests on Memorial Day, Donating Over $45,000 in Gratitude
May 28, 2025
On Memorial Day, Monday, May 26, Phelan Family Brands had the honor of serving 2,085 veterans, active-duty service members, and reservists across its 26 restaurant locations throughout Southwest Florida—from Tampa to Marco Island.
Through its Memorial Day military appreciation initiative, the company extended $45,888.91 in complimentary meals across its family of restaurants, including Chops City Grill, The Bay House, Pazzo! Cucina Italiana, Pinchers, Keewaydin’s, and more.
“This day has always been about remembrance,” said Grant Phelan, owner of Phelan Family Brands. “But it’s also a moment to serve those who’ve protected our way of life. We’re humbled by the response from our military guests and honored to have welcomed more than two thousand heroes into our restaurants. These aren’t just numbers—they’re neighbors, families, and stories of courage and sacrifice.”
The promotion offered military guests significant discounts ranging from $20 to $50 off their meal, valid for both food and drinks at all 26 locations. The gesture was Phelan Family Brands’ way of honoring fallen heroes while expressing sincere thanks to those still in uniform.
“This Memorial Day, we didn’t just serve meals,” Phelan added. “We served gratitude.”
