Last week Strong Hearts Cafe helped inaugurate Groupon into Syracuse when it became the first local business to be featured on the discount group coupon site. Groupon, which was already available in Rochester, Buffalo and Albany, is a website that offers coupons for 50 to 90 percent off at local businesses, with a twist: the coupons are only valid if a pre-set minimum number of people purchase them. For example, Groupon might be offering two-for-one tickets to a show at Syracuse Stage (not yet, but that’s a hint!), but with a minimum of 20 to be sold. As soon as 20 people purchase the coupon voucher, the deal is “on;” if the minimum isn’t met then nobody gets the deal and those who already purchased the coupon get a refund. Print the coupon or bring it up on your iPhone or Droid to redeem it. Groupon is free to join and offers a new deal every day. You’ve already missed great deals on Strong Hearts vegan cuisine and discount price on Pilates at Spring Studio — sign up with groupon.com to take advantage of the next deal!
