I’m excited to share that the Waco Buzz will be launching “Crew Cards” in a few weeks. These cards will unlock discounts at restaurants around Waco. Each batch will be for sale in a very limited number, so first come first serve.

We’ve already partnered with some great restaurants and are adding more. The first batch will be announced ASAP, but you can lock in your spot to be the first in line before they’re gone, drop me an email and just say YES and I’ll make sure you’re the first to know. 🤝
Cheers,
Sam 🫡
