Former NFL Elite Running Backs Get The Original On Hold Brand Sound

Sept. 2, 2011 - PRLog -- G.R.E.A.T. Grille Group (G3), based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida,is a national sport restaurant chain that has teamed up with Hall of Fame athletes in opening iconic sports franchises with high-exposure locations and high-quality food service. Formed in 2000, the group has launched four successful ventures to date: Eddie George’s Sports Grille in Nashville, Tennessee, and Grille 27 in Columbus, Ohio; Jeff Conine’s Clubhouse Grille in Hollywood, Florida; and Jerome Bettis’ Grille 36 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

G3 includes hospitality industry veterans Howard Shiller and Bob McCarthy, both formerly of the Walt Disney Co., along with Bob Burness, whose resume includes Price-Waterhouse as a C.P.A., Dunkin’ Donuts, and Auntie Anne’s Soft Pretzels. The group has developed a signature look for their establishments,with a“gender-neutral” décor that appeals to women as well as men, but also classic enough to reflect the timelessness of the namesake athletes and their team affiliations at both the college and professional levels.

Two former NFL athletes, Jerome Abram “The Bus” Bettis and Edward “Eddie” George, have joined forces with G3 in opening these sports-themed type restaurants and have decided to work with The Original On Hold to take care of their branding needs for their on-hold messages.

“The Bus”is considered one of the best big backs ever due to his footwork and power, and is currently fifth on the National Football League's all-time rushing list. He is a 6 time Pro Bowler, a Walter Payton Man Of The Year Award Winner and Superbowl XL Champion.
“Eddie” on the other hand played for the Tennessee Titans (former Houston Oilers NFL franchise). He was a Heisman Trophy winner at Ohio State University  and was also inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. His professional career also saw additional accolades, including winning an NFL Rookie of the Year award and playing in Superbowl XXXIV.
