The Atlanta-based Ted’s Montana Grill restaurant chain, whose 39 locations include Parkaire Landing in East Cobb, announced that it will be giving its employees a day off for Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve for the first time this year.
From a release:
The restaurant wants its valued team members to enjoy well-deserved time to relax and unwind with family and friends.
The two holidays, Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve, are among Ted’s biggest sales days of the year. Ted’s will remain closed Christmas Day, as it has since it opened in 2002.
George McKerrow, CEO and co-founder of Ted’s Montana Grill, recognizes the challenging times in the restaurant industry and appreciates his team. He encourages all restaurants to close on the holidays so employees can enjoy time with loved ones.
“Workers in the restaurant/hospitality industry have been the most impacted during these challenging times. We are incredibly grateful for our team members who came back to work with a positive, spirited attitude and the genuine hospitality that our guests expect. Our team has helped us thrive by making our guests smile and more importantly, feel like family. Now they deserve to spend quality time with their own families this holiday season.
I’d also like to encourage everyone in the restaurant industry to close and take a break on the holidays. We should look past the revenue success and realize what truly matters now more than ever – making special holiday memories with the people we love the most.”
