MR MIKES® SteakhouseCasual To Unite Mikes Across Western Canada in World Record Attempt

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - May 26, 2015) - Calling everyone with the first name Mike or Michael! On Saturday, June 27, 2015 at 3:00 p.m., MR MIKES® SteakhouseCasual will attempt to break the World Record for the 'largest same-name gathering - first name'. Coinciding with the Saskatchewan Roughriders Home Opener, MR MIKES® will be at the GoodLife Fan Fest next to the Mosaic Stadium to unite and celebrate Mikes, attempt to set a record, and raise funds for KidSport in their local communities.

To ensure no Mike feels left out of the fun, MR MIKES® is hosting simultaneous Mikes Unite parties between 12:00pm and 5:00pm on Saturday, June 27 at all its 25 SteakhouseCasual restaurant locations in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. These parties will try and set an unofficial record for uniting as many Mikes or Michaels as possible across Western Canada in one day. On Saturday, June 27, guests of MR MIKES® named Mike or Michael will also have the opportunity to enjoy a free Mikeburger by registering in advance online at www.mikesunite.ca.

In keeping with their commitment to community, MR MIKES® is also uniting to raise funds for KidSport. Funds will be raised in three different ways:

• $1 will be donated from each Mikeburger sold between June 16 to 27
• $1 will be donated from each entrée sold during the June 27 Mikes Unite parties across Western Canada
• 25 cents will be donated for each social share made on June 27 on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram that includes #mikesunite

"We've already seen a lot of excitement from Mikes across Western Canada, and we're looking forward to everything coming together in this world record attempt," says Mike Cordoba, CEO, RAMMP Hospitality Brands Inc., the company behind MR MIKES®. "Mikes Unite is an opportunity for us to celebrate with Mikes, Michaels and friends of both, while raising as much money as possible for KidSport in all our local communities."

Full details of the World Record attempt at the GoodLife Fan Fest event in Regina have yet to be disclosed but high-profile Mikes will be in attendance. The first 200 Mikes or Michaels to sign-in at the MR MIKES table at Fan Fest will get two complimentary tickets to the June 27 Roughriders' Home Opener. MR MIKES® will also be sampling mini Mikeburgers by donation, with proceeds going to KidSport.
