Muradian kicks off ‘Order Local’ challenge with Pepperoni Express

State Rep. David Muradian is hoping to give restaurants in his district a boost by offering daily $25 gift cards to customers during his “Order Local Food” challenge.

Here’s how it works: Muradian will post a Restaurant of the Day from Grafton, Upton or Northbridge on his Facebook page (it will also be featured here on Grafton Common). A customer of that restaurant on that day will receive a $25 gift card to that eatery from Muradian.

“I wanted to give our small, locally owned restaurants a bit of a boost,” Muradian said.

The challenge kicks off Monday with Pepperoni Express in Grafton, which will be slightly different from the other restaurants. Instead of just one $25 gift card, there are two.

“Lucky insisted on matching me,” Muradian said of owner Lakis “Lucky” Theoharis, who is known for donating pizzas for various Grafton events. “So we’ll have $50 for the 50th order.”
