"We think it's the perfect way to celebrate the Moms in our lives," said Alice Crowder, Vice President of Marketing for Buffets, Inc.  "Our restaurants do the cooking so families get to relax with all their home-style favorites and enjoy some time together, keeping the focus on what's important."

Ryan's, HomeTown Buffet, and Old Country Buffet are also saving piggy banks by giving kids a fun and free way of showing Mom some love. Throughout the month of May, children are invited to create a beautiful blooming pop-up paper flower for Mom. Crowder stated the pop-up flowers are perfect because they last forever – no watering necessary!

"There is nothing more precious to a mother than something from their child, whether that be a flower or a shared meal or just an opportunity to stop and enjoy each other," Crowder said.  "We want our restaurants to be the places where family memories are made."
