Rum Runners Opening July 1st


Rum Runners USA announces it’s newest location at The Wharf in Orange Beach, Alabama will open the first week in July.

“We are very excited to be adding this new store to our growing family of locations that feature Great Food, Great Music and Great Fun for customers of all ages,” said James Auerbach, Vice President of Rum Runners USA. “With the new Conference Center opening on The Wharf property and the rapidly growing area, we are confident that the new Rum Runners store will be extremely successful,” Auerbach said.

The new location is scheduled to open on July 1, 2009. Including the new location in Orange Beach, Rum Runners USA will have 6 nationwide locations in five states open (NC, FL, MI, IN, AL). The new location in Orange Beach will further strengthen the Rum Runners brand name throughout the Southeast region. Auerbach attributes the growth to the fact that interest in the company and concept has never been higher.

“One of the key components to all of our locations is the customer interaction in the nightly live entertainment and musical show. This adds to the high levels of “fun” experienced by all,” Michael Scozzafave, Rum Runners founder added. “Especially in our current economic times we feel that it is very important that our customers enjoy a wide variety of delicious food and live entertainment all at a comfortable price point,” Scozzafave said.

About Rum Runners:
The Rum Runners theme consists of a Caribbean style with palm trees, thatched roof tiki huts, island style shacks, full wall tropical murals, lush foliage, and award winning lunch, dinner, and late night menus. The facilities are designed to take customers on a trip to a far away place where the sand is as white as the snow, the water is as blue as the sky and the sun is always shinning. The goal is to provide the customers with a "close to home" get away that proves to be a guaranteed good time. Basically - the ULTIMATE destination entertainment night spot!

The great food, interactive entertainment and world famous dueling pianos, and unmatched atmosphere are the main attractions at Rum Runners. The dueling piano concept consists of two entertainers playing baby grand pianos simultaneously. They play a variety of hit songs from the 60's, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and through today. The show focuses heavily on audience participation. It is very common to hear the crowd singing the chorus of a song while the entertainers lead them on. The staff (known as "The Staff That Rocks") performs with the entertainers live on stage once per hour in what is called SHOWTIME! This is audience interaction at its finest where the staff leads the guests in song and dance routines. The wide variety of music, audience participation, high energy level, and sheer FUN make Rum Runners the place to be with family and friends! Typically open 5-7 days a week, Rum Runners regularly attracts between 300-600+ people per day and always promotes its motto of Great Food, Great Music, Great Fun!

Rum Runners is based corporately in Raleigh, NC. All media inquiries should be directed to James Auerbach, Vice President at (919) 844-5959, ext 102 or via email at jauerbach@rumrunnersusa.com .

WHARF WELCOMES STUDENT LIFE

STUDENT LIFE BRINGS THOUSANDS OF TEENS TO THE WHARF

The Wharf welcomes the Student Life 2009 Summer Mission Camp to Orange Beach. Student Life, Inc., a national organization of Christian youth, is holding its 2009 Summer Mission Camp for the first time ever at The Wharf Orange Beach, Alabama.


Students are registered for nine separate Summer Mission Camp sessions during the months of June and July. A total of approximately 2000 Christian youths, from ages 13 to 18, have registered for this exciting event at The Wharf. The largest meeting facility on the Alabama Gulf Coast -- the new Conference Center at The Wharf, will serve as "base camp" for Student Life groups, with spacious accommodation for meetings, Bible study sessions, and climate-controlled space for indoor activities and games. The Wharf community hopes the Student Life members will return home with great memories of fun experiences during their Summer Mission Camp at Orange Beach, Alabama.

The Conference Center's 27,000 square feet of interior space houses meeting room areas, a Green Room, and state-of-the-art audio and visual technology available for hosting a wide variety of exhibits and functions, including association and group meetings, trade shows, special events, weddings, and sporting events. The exhibition hall is comprised of 18,600 square feet of floor space, accommodating more than 2,000 guests for reception or theater style seating and more than 1,500 for banquet style seating.

Professional groups and organized clubs are drawn to the Alabama Gulf Coast for its beautiful beaches and area attractions that offer, not only recreational options for members during conference downtime, but a relaxing, scenic environment and pleasant, tropical climate.
