And the global ecommerce company responds: Thanks!
CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
In response to the overwhelming outpour of Groupon's signature
green-themed celebrations the past few days, Groupon has issued a formal
announcement of appreciation to the city of Chicago. Beginning on
Saturday and through today, Chicagoans painted the entire city Groupon
Green -- from attire and beverages to turning the Chicago River into an
emerald cascade and TWO parades.
"We are both honored and humbled that Chicago, the city we call home,
has come together and presented such a heartwarming gesture," said
Barnicus Stapleton, Director of Green Initiatives at Groupon. "We've
even heard rumors that it might become an annual celebration. Really,
it's just too much. You're embarrassing us."
Also, to commemorate the celebration, Groupon has announced that their
official company plant is now a clover.
