Restoring The Roar
To A Beloved Brand

National Rental Car Logo
Lion’s Choice is a midwestern chain of roast beef sandwich focused restaurants. Founded in 1967, there are now 38 locations throughout Missouri, Kansas and Illinois. For many years the brand languished with no brand positioning, no brand strategy beyond limited time specials and no real swagger. That’s where Cannonball stepped in.

Positioning Fit For A King

Cannonball created new positioning – “Celebrating Honest-To-Goodness Awesome Food”. We brought it to life with a new quality-focused brand identity campaign, including bold, in-your-face food photography and graphics, all delivered with an authentic brand voice and a little swagger.

The campaign included outdoor, print, broadcast radio, store rebranding, packaging, in-store activation, digital display ads, social media and the all-new Lion’s Choice Food Truck.

Putting the App in Appetizing

When the time came to launch a new version of the online ordering app, Cannonball worked with Lion’s Choice’s P.O.S. systems integrator to create a user friendly and branded experience, both for simple online orders and for rewards members. Special weekly offers were also added at Cannonball’s request.

Since launch in April 2021 the app has been promoted through social and in store and has was downloaded more than 24k times this year alone and we have more than 70k rewards members signed up, which has also allowed for communications through email and push notifications. The app is now accounting for a significant number of sales and has paired well with delivery service offerings.
