Those Free Cream Puffs @Famima!! Have Been Rescheduled
Who knew cream puffs could ignite such a hot bed of activity and response? But we heard you "had no beard" and were turned down, so we checked with the folks who clued us into the promo and got things straightened out. Here's the deal: Friday July 10th, from 11 a.m. to Noon, if you say "I don't have a beard" to the employee at either The Pacific Center (6th st) and California Plaza (350 S. Grand) location of Famima!! you'll get one free Beard Papa's Cream Puff. Limit one per customer, while supplies last, etc. From Famima!!:
We would like to apologize to all of our customers for the miscommunication and change in promotion. It was not our intent to confuse you. We value our customers and will never allow this to happen again. Hope to see you all on Friday for your free Beard Papa!!! (Participating stores: 6th Street and 350 S. Grand)
-Famima
So go out and get your cream puffs...on Friday!
