Robbins Brothers and Marie Callenders Kick Off the Summer Of Love



This summer, Robbins Brothers is teaming up with Marie Callender's to celebrate a major milestone: 60 years of Marie Callender's pie-making perfection. To toast this Diamond Anniversary, Robbins Brothers, World's Biggest Engagement Ring Store, and Marie Callender's welcome all lovebirds to submit their story for a chance to win a truly happily-ever-after moment including an engagement ring or anniversary bands from Robbins Brothers, a romantic dinner for two at Marie Callender's and fresh-baked pies for a year.

From July 7 through August 3, 2008, all customers are invited to submit 250 words or less of their humorous, unique or compelling love story online (www.robbinsbros.com, www.mariecallenders.com), or at one of the participating Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego Marie Callender's locations, and all 8 Southern California Robbins Brothers stores.

"Together with the Robbins Brothers team, we are looking forward to hearing the memorable moments and romantic endeavors of our guests," says Marie Callender's Marketing Director Julee Ferguson. "We are thrilled to celebrate our Diamond Anniversary with the people who made Marie Callender's the traditional, memorable, family dining destination it is - our guests."

The contest is open to all legal California residents, 18 years or older, who are soon-to-be engaged, engaged, or celebrating an upcoming wedding anniversary. The winning entrant will be selected by August 22, 2008 and will win an engagement ring or anniversary bands from Robbins Brothers (in the form of a $2,000 gift certificate), a dinner for two at Marie Callender's ($100 value) and pie for a year ($126 value).
