What Brands Are Saying

Real feedback from brands that have activated at Hounds Drive-in locations

We decided to host a snack brand activation last month and it exceeded our expectations in terms of community engagement. Families came in specifically for the event, and many stayed to grab dinner—it was a win-win for everyone involved. The activation team did a great job creating buzz on social media, which helped drive foot traffic through our doors.

The product sampling activation we hosted brought incredible energy to our venue on a typically slow weeknight. Our customers were genuinely excited to try the new beverage line, and we saw a 40% spike in bar sales that evening. The brand team was professional and easy to work with, making the whole process seamless from setup to breakdown.

Brand Partner

Partnering with a local craft soda brand for a sampling event was one of the best decisions we made this season. Not only did we introduce our regular customers to a new product they ended up loving, but we also attracted families from neighboring towns who'd heard about the event. The additional revenue and positive word-of-mouth have already led to three more brand inquiries for this summer.
