TriCities Arby's Announces Contest Winner of Free Arby's for a Year

​BRISTOL, TN (December 1, 2017) – TriCities Arby's© announced the winner of its 35th Anniversary “WE HAVE THE MEATS™” impersonation contest, which was held in celebration of Arbico East’s 35th year in the TriCities. Arbico East asked its guests to showcase and submit via online video their best "ARBY’S©: WE HAVE THE MEATS™" impersonation for a chance to win free Arby's© for a year.
 
The Grand Prize winner was LeeLee Williams, from Johnson City, TN. Williams is an automotive finance manager at Johnson City Honda and is known as “The Network King” for his work in the entertainment industry. Williams received 52 VIP cards, each valid for a free Arby's© meal. He now has the bragging rights of being the official TriCities Arby’s “WE HAVE THE MEATS™” representative.
 
“Thank you all so much for this great opportunity,” Williams told Arbico East, adding that he loves the food at Arby's©, especially the Beef ‘n Cheddar sandwiches and Apple Turnovers. He said that while he will certainly use the VIP cards on himself, he also plans to be generous with his winnings: “I’m going to share this with some people, pay it forward, stuff like that.”
 
The contest’s runners-up were Doris Luckadoo, from Kingsport, TN, and Charlene Brooks, from Greeneville, TN.
 
Luckadoo, a self-proclaimed faithful customer of Arby's© for twelve years, noted that her granddaughter, Erika Neely, was particularly happy about her grandmother’s being a runner-up. “She’s the reason I go to Arby’s 3-4 times a week,” Luckado said. “She won’t eat anywhere else since she was about 2.”
 
Brooks said, too, that her sons, who were featured in her contest submission video, were very excited about being named a runner-up.
 
We at Arbico East thank our winner, our runners-up, and everyone who participated in the contest. We appreciate the opportunity we’ve had to serve this area for the last 35 years and look forward to many more years of service in the TriCities.
