Free Peanuts(TM) Ice Cream Cones on National Ice Cream Day, July 18th at All Carrows Restaurants

CARLSBAD, CA, Jul 10 (MARKET WIRE) --
On July 18th, National Ice Cream Day, all Carrows restaurants, located
throughout the states of California and Nevada, will scoop out free
Peanuts(TM) ice cream cones, one of the special new Peanuts(TM) desserts
being served up at the family restaurant chains from now until November
2009. All Coco's E-Club members will receive a coupon for the free ice
cream, and non-members can easily sign up online for the restaurant's
E-Club at www.carrows.com. Guests signing up by July 15 will receive the
coupon; and all members should print out their coupon to redeem it at the
restaurant. Carrows is giving away free Peanuts(TM) ice cream cones to
not only recognize this classic American treat, but to also celebrate
their partnership with the classic American brand, Peanuts(TM). The same
day in Buena Park, California, Carrows, located at 8650 Beach Boulevard,
Buena Park, will host 20 Boys & Girls Club members with a Peanuts(TM) Ice
Cream Social and Luncheon. Peanuts characters will be in attendance for
photo opportunities, Knott's Berry Farm will provide tickets for Camp
Snoopy, and a Carrows executive will serve as a motivational speaker to
the local children of the Boys & Girls Club. While guests enjoy their
free cones, they can also dig into Carrows fresh, affordable meals --
including their slow roasted prime rib, Big Bargain Lunches, and fresh
salads.

"Our Free Ice Cream Cone Day is a way to provide our customers with a
budget-saving treat and our partnership with the Boys & Girls Club gives
back to our community's kids," said President of Carrows, Kazumasa Ogawa.
"Hopefully this message will stick with them long after their ice cream
cones melt."

The free ice cream cone day is part of a Peanuts(TM) promotion that is
running through November 30, 2009 in all Carrows. Stopping by for free
cones is not only an economical way to spend a hot summer day, but it is
also another chance to enter the Peanuts sweepstakes, which features free
meals, discounts on 5 Peanuts DVD titles and one all-expense paid trip for
a family of 4 to Knott's Berry Farm's Camp Snoopy. Details on the
promotion can be found at www.carrows.com/peanuts.
