GOLDSBORO, N.C. – Feb. 12, 2010 – It was all smiles for La Grange resident Shelia Hobbs as she recently walked away with $1,000 from ColorTyme. Hobbs’ name was drawn as one of 30 grand-prize winners in ColorTyme’s $30K Giveaway, an anniversary event that awarded cash prizes, new merchandise and rental savings to customers nationwide.
“I heard about the 30K Giveaway in my ColorTyme store,” said Hobbs. “This is the first time I’ve ever won a contest like this.”
Headquartered in Plano, Texas, ColorTyme received hundreds of Giveaway entries from across the U.S. Mark Martin, franchise owner of the ColorTyme in Goldsboro, was happy to hear that one of his customers was a winner.
“It was great to see how excited Shelia was when she learned that she had won,” said Martin. “I’m glad to see the prize go to such a loyal customer. We hope to do more promotions like this in the future.”
