nine in the former Sioux Falls VFW

34
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:02.280
a Thursday, excited to have a
guest in the studio. Chef Ellen,

35
00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:06.079
how are you doing? I am
good? Thanks for having me, Sue

36
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:08.639
Fall Chef now right, yes,
going to suit Fall chef. And it's

37
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:12.080
fun because I've always known you as
Chef Allen. Then I saw a suit

38
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:14.520
Fall chef. Oh, Chef Ellen, what's going on here? How long

39
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:16.120
has it been Sue Fall Chef?
Has it been a little bit? It's

40
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:21.159
been less than a year. Now
we're transitioning and there's just I mean,

41
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:23.840
there's just so many more than just
me there. I can't take all the

42
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:25.039
credit there. Well, and I'm
out of touch, but I'm not that

43
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:29.159
far out of touch if it's only
been a year as good. So let's

44
00:02:29.159 --> 00:02:32.639
talk about it's the shop hop and
this is like your brain choilt life.

45
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:36.719
People at Sue Fall Chef came up
with it. Yes, so our general

46
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:39.639
manager Cat came up with the idea. So we reached out to other local

47
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:45.560
businesses and with us included. There's
twenty four businesses on the card. Yeah,

48
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:52.719
all small, all local, all
within entertainment, food and retail.

49
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:55.639
So there's kind of those three sections
of things to hit and they're all laid

50
00:02:55.680 --> 00:03:00.120
out on a Bingo card so you
can kind of hop around the city and

51
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:01.840
get to ringos however you want.
And the thing that's neat about this,

52
00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:06.879
I saw this on social media and
I saw that it was promoting shopping local,

53
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:08.599
supporting a local, big time fan
of that, love love, love

54
00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:12.120
that, and I reached out to
Kat and said, hey, let me

55
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:14.759
know what we can do to help
promote this because I love that you're doing

56
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:16.759
this. So thank you guys for
you know, picking up the shop local

57
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:22.120
ball and playing, and thank you
to all of the businesses that got involved.

58
00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:23.919
Were you surprised when you got twenty
four people to say I'll do this?

59
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:27.879
Yeah, you know, at first, when you start something like this,

60
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:30.039
you're like, well, maybe we'll
get enough, and then it was

61
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:32.319
like, at one point we were
like, are we going to need two

62
00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:36.960
different Bingo cards. So this is
only the first year and we're definitely like

63
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:38.639
working the kinks out in the system, but we're hoping to just keep the

64
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:42.639
ball rolling with I love that.
Yeah, we did back in twenty twenty,

65
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:45.360
when like all the Easter stuff was
canceled, we did an Easter egg

66
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:47.840
hunt and I just posted it and
it was like a scavenger hunt. We

67
00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:52.719
drive around and there were like letters
and windows, and then when things were

68
00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:54.159
back to normal, we didn't do
it, and then I was getting messages

69
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:57.759
for years. I'll probably have them
again this year where we get close to

70
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:00.000
Easter going why don't you do that
anymore? And I'm like, well,

71
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:03.680
it's fun and especially neat right,
and it's February, so everybody's like stuck

72
00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:06.360
inside and we're all looking for stuff
to do. So it's just a great

73
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:10.800
timing. So let's explain the shop
hop for people that are listening. Going,

74
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:13.360
Okay, you mentioned Bingo cards,
you mentioned shop hop, but what

75
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:15.879
is this? So what is the
shop hop? So the shop hop is

76
00:04:15.959 --> 00:04:19.399
laid out as a Bingo card and
each square on the card is a different

77
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:23.480
local business. Now, a lot
of the businesses are going to have discounts

78
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:26.040
when you bring in your card.
We're doing ten percent off at the store.

79
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:28.639
Some of like the arcades, are
doing free credits and things, so

80
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:30.560
you can ask when you go in. But they'll stamp your card and that's

81
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:33.439
you know, your space, so
you can line up, you know,

82
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:36.279
however many bingos you want. We're
not doing like four corners. You got

83
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:41.639
to get your traditional bingos, but
you can kind of hop around town and

84
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:44.519
see a few different places, and
at the end of the month, if

85
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:46.439
you turn in your card to any
of the local businesses, we'll pull them

86
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:50.360
all up. Each bingo is an
entry into our various drawings and we have

87
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:56.000
all donated prizes to give away,
so full cheesecakes, gift cards, a

88
00:04:56.079 --> 00:05:00.879
three foot stuffed chicken nugget, like
all everything you can imagine. I can't

89
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:02.439
wait to see the three foot stuff
chicken nugget. We have it on display

90
00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:04.759
at our store if you want to
have to stop it and listen. Where

91
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:08.879
are you located? So they are
on sixty ninth and Western Avenue. Very

92
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:12.040
nice, and that's what do they
call that area? There's a Remington Remington

93
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:15.519
Center. Yes, so we're right
next to twenty two ten Kitchen and Cocktails.

94
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:17.240
So we're doing the Slandwich. So
we're just all local. That is

95
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:20.439
awesome. And again, the thing
that I love about this this is like

96
00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:25.279
you don't get more local than this. This is local, local, local.

97
00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:30.279
And you know, there was recently
during the Super Bowl there were ads

98
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:32.480
for TMU and and then you know
a lot of people are online talking about,

99
00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:35.439
oh, I don't do that because
it doesn't support local businesses. And

100
00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:39.600
I'm I'm of that vein where I'm
a big fan of what can we do

101
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:44.160
to keep people spending their money locally? And I think I'm not one that

102
00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:46.600
says somebody should tell me where I
can and can't do things. So that's

103
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:47.519
up to you. You do what
you want to do. But I like

104
00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:51.720
to remind people why it's important to
do business locally because when you go into

105
00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:56.120
businesses like a Sioux Fall chef,
and you go into the local businesses and

106
00:05:56.160 --> 00:06:00.319
spend money with them, those are
the same people who quite often are the

107
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:03.759
ones sponsoring local things that your family
enjoys as well. And they're the ones

108
00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:06.839
that when you come in, do
you want to collect tax? I don't,

109
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:10.920
but we have to write, so
we collect tax, and we pay

110
00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:13.600
that tax, and those taxes go
to pay for the roads, and those

111
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:15.600
taxes go to pay for all of
the things that we that we have in

112
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:18.959
our communities. So you know,
they're they're doing so much to help your

113
00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:21.399
community, and there are people who
go, well, i'll save a little

114
00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:24.439
if I click this button and I
just do it online. Well, you

115
00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:27.800
don't always save a little. You
also get scammed a lot online. So

116
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:30.000
there's so many reasons to not do
that. And I love it when somebody

117
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:33.360
comes up with a fun way to
make shopping local funds. So when I

118
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:35.399
saw this, I was like,
I love it. We're going to chat

119
00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:39.000
about this for sure. Yes,
it's great. And I've been trying to

120
00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:42.839
make my way around and I've popped
into places that I either had heard of,

121
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:46.399
don't cham I'm working on my Bengos, yes, but like one of

122
00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:49.199
a mulberry market I had never been
into. It was like three times a

123
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:53.000
size I thought it was going to
be. It had way more vendors in

124
00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:56.399
there than I thought, and they're
all like local little individual person's booth.

125
00:06:56.439 --> 00:06:59.800
When you buy that item, you
are helping that person exactly. It's crazy.

126
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:01.560
When I had driven by there like
ten times, I was like,

127
00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:03.360
I got to stop because I want
to see what that is. For some

128
00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:06.839
reason, I was thinking it was
like a farmer's market because it's mulberry market.

129
00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:09.879
And I go in there and there's
like a bunch of craft items and

130
00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:12.120
local businesses. I'm like, oh, that's I didn't know that's what it

131
00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:14.920
was. So if you've driven by
a bunch of times and you didn't know

132
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:16.560
that's what's in there. It's crafty
stuff, it's a cool place. It

133
00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:19.839
is really cool and a lot of
these businesses are so excited to be a

134
00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:24.000
part of it too, so they'll
get excited to stamp your card into Bingo

135
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:27.399
you and see where you're going around
town and to support everybody else. Well,

136
00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:29.839
Chef Allen, thank you for coming
in. Thanks for doing what you're

137
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:31.560
doing to help support local businesses,
not just yours, but all of the

138
00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:33.639
businesses that are a part of this. I think it's cool. Yeah,

139
00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:36.600
well, thank you so much for
having me. It's absolutely my pleasure.

140
00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:40.639
If somebody would like to find a
Bingo card of their own, if they

141
00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:43.319
would like to be a part of
this, what is step one? How

142
00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:45.800
do they get a card and how
do they start planning? Yes, so

143
00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:48.759
all of the businesses that are involved
will have cards available for pickup at their

144
00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:51.800
locations. You can search on Facebook, Shop Hop Bingo. There's an event

145
00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:57.079
set up and you can see the
full list of all of the participating businesses,

146
00:07:57.120 --> 00:08:00.879
and they will all have their stuff
posted when you walk so you can

147
00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:03.079
see and grab and go. I
will post it on our Facebook page again

148
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:05.040
as well. I've already shared it
earlier this week, but I'll do it

149
00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:07.879
again today to make sure it's really
easy to find. Thank you again,

150
