Company Plans to Honor Game Cards, Refund Event Deposits

Davenport, Iowa...America's Incredible Pizza Company (AIPC) today confirmed that its lease on E. Kimberly Road is terminated and the Davenport location has officially closed. The decision to close the Davenport location was the result of a business dispute between external forces, says AIPC founder and CEO, Rick Barsness, and does not reflect AIPC's commitment to the surrounding community.

"We love Davenport. We are grateful for the support of our customers here and have always been proud to serve them. It was not our decision to close. Unfortunately, our hands were tied," said Barsness. "We hope that families will come and play with us at our nine remaining locations."

Refunds will be issued for deposits made for group events and birthday parties. Game cards will be honored at other AIPC locations including Urbandale, outside of Des Moines, the closest to Davenport. No cash refunds for game cards will be given. Employees affected by the closing are being offered jobs at other locations.

"Of course we are disappointed with this outcome, but we are also excited about the many changes taking place within our organization, including the opening of our newest location in St. Louis later this December and our rebranding efforts that will propel the company's growth," says Barsness.

AIPC's rebranding strategy includes the opening of the St. Louis location by year's end, new games and attractions at AIPC's remaining nine locations, more valuable family deals, "Incrediblizers" for a better experience, brighter storefronts, friendlier website and enhanced marketing efforts.

Customers with questions regarding deposits for group events or about game cards are asked to contact Nikki Tunnell at 417-890-1408 or email ntunnell@incrediblepizza.com.

Le Claire, Iowa, October 1, 2012 - It's beginning to feel a lot like fall outside, just in time for Mississippi River Distilling Company's second release of Iowa Coffee Company Liqueur on October 5, 2012.  This seasonal is back by popular demand after flying off the shelves last fall and winter.

MRDC takes hand roasted Peruvian blend coffee beans from Iowa Coffee Company, a Des Moines area small business, and infuses it into River Pilot Vodka.  Along the process, fresh cinnamon sticks and vanilla beans are added.  This year approximately 6,000 bottles will be available for distribution starting in October.  Grab a bottle for yourself and one to give as a gift this holiday season!

October 5 also marks the next release of the highly sought after Cody Road Bourbon Whiskey.  Approximately 1,500 bottles will be distributed.  Luckily, more is quickly on the horizon ready to come out of the barrel so it won't be so hard to get your hands on a bottle.  By the beginning of November, MRDC will be releasing approximately 1,000 bottles per week, thanks to finally catching up with the aging process.  Also coming up November 2, is the release of MRDC's latest spirit, Cody Road Rye Whiskey. This spirit is handmade from 100% local rye purchased from Dave and Jim Wherry in Fulton, Illinois. Our rye is a unique spirit that showcases the wonderful spiciness of this one-of-a-kind grain along with the delicate fruitiness that is often lost in rye whiskies.

Coffee enthusiasts, bourbon lovers and everyone in between are invited to join us Friday, October 5 from 5:30-8:00 p.m. to celebrate at MRDC's First Friday Feature.  There will be specialty cocktails prepared for the evening, including cocktails featuring the coffee liqueur, as well as some light appetizers.  During the First Friday party, fans get a free Iowa Coffee Company Liqueur coffee mug with any bottle of spirits purchased.

Mississippi River Distilling Company is open from 10 AM to 5 PM Monday through Saturday and from 12 to 5 PM Sundays.  Free tours are offered to the public daily on the hour from 12 to 4 PM or by appointment.  The tour takes visitors through the entire distilling process.  Tours end in the Grand Tasting Room with free samples of products for those patrons over 21 years of age.

The weekend officially kicks off at noon on Friday, November 16 with traditional French stew and wine-inspired lunches at many area restaurants. At 2:30 pm, the familiar "clip clop" of horse hooves will be heard throughout Galena's downtown. On board the horse-drawn wagons sporting revelers is a celebrated guest that will have the entire town in merriment all weekend?Galena Cellars' 2012 Nouveau wine. The specially commissioned Nouveau wine label and collector's poster by Galena artist Dwight Walles will also be unveiled.

Local restaurants continue the celebration with live music, wine tasting, dinner specials and receptions.

Washington, D.C. - Congressman Dave Loebsack today announced that the City of Davenport will receive a $100,000 grant to establish a year round farmers market.  The funding comes from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farmers Market Promotion Program.

"This funding will help to connect local farmers to the local community and consumers," said Loebsack.  "In addition to promoting new economic opportunities and growth in the area, the expanded farmers market season will provide new opportunities for farmers and increased access to fresh and healthy products for consumers."

The funding will be used to improve infrastructure at the Freight House Farmers Market that will facilitate a year round market for local and regional foods, including refrigerated storage and value added processing and packaging equipment, infrastructure for electronic purchasing, and a certified kitchen incubator for educational training and classes for producers and consumers.
