Woodford Reserve Bar and Grill Opens At Louisville International Airport

The first Woodford Reserve Bar and Grill has opened at the Louisville International Airport, centered around Woodford Reserve Small Batch Bourbon and the Labrot & Graham Distillery in Woodford County, Kentucky.

“The Louisville International Airport is an important entryway to this state and we wanted the Woodford Reserve Bar and Grill to showcase Kentucky’s treasures of bourbon, Bluegrass and thoroughbreds,” said John Overfield, V.P. and Marketing Director for Woodford Reserve Small Batch Bourbon, a product of Brown-Forman. “With Woodford Reserve’s homeplace, located in the midst of some of Kentucky’s finest horse farms and Woodford Reserve being the ‘Official Bourbon’ of the Kentucky Derby, we felt that we could create a concept that could successfully represent our region.”


Display Technologies recently introduced SunSpots, custom designed lightboxes to help build brand awareness. This McDonald's McFlurry™ SunSpot was designed to generate impulse sales and remind consumers about the restaurant chain's ice cream and candy treat. Hundreds of units have been distributed nationwide. These specialty lightboxes were designed as a neon replacement and the patented unit is an ideal window sign that does not fade in direct sunlight and offers an eyecatching way to capture consumer attention. The unit is available in standard 12" x 24" or 16" x 6" configurations and can also be produced to client size specifications for relatively small quantities. The SunSpot can be mounted to the ceiling, wall or desk and makes an instant impression. For more information, contact Display Technologies, 111-04th Avenue, Collage Point, NY 11356.
