Play and Win:
- Visit any of our participating businesses and make a purchase now through 12/31/10.
- Ask the store staff to write in the amount of your purchase and their store code on the Bingo card. Note some squares have a business logo; this is only for purchases made at that business. Most of the card is made of WILD squares for purchases at any participating local business.
- Prizes are as follows: One purchase enters you in a drawing for gift certificates from local businesses. A bingo (five completed squares in any direction) enters you in a drawing to win either a gas grill from Ace Hardware OR skis from Edgeworks. A blackout (all squares completed, or 25 purchases) enters you in a drawing to win a flat panel TV from Listen Up!
- Submit your card at the nearest Noodles & Co. location (yes, they're local, too!) by 12/31/10. Forms must be complete with your name and contact info to win.
Other Contest Rules:
Contest entries valid for purchases made from 11/15/10 to 12/31/10. Cards must be submitted at a Noodles & Co. store or in the mail to be valid. No minimum purchase is required to participate. Only ONE discount per customer allowed (when applicable). Only purchases at participating locally owned stores are valid for entry. Purchases from online-only businesses (such as Colorado Carbon Fund or Mountain Green Goods) will be validated with a code via email confirmation.
