Groupon Celebrates Turning 10 with a Birthday Sale and Good Cause Opportunity
Groupon (NASDAQ: GRPN) is turning
10, and the global marketplace for local services, experiences and goods
is marking its decade evolution from a daily deals company into a local
ecommerce leader with a two-day birthday celebration. The Groupon 10th
Birthday Sale runs from Nov. 17-18 and features extra savings on ways to
look good and have fun this holiday season. In addition, Groupon has
brought back the most successful fundraising campaign ever launched via
its platform, which provides people with the opportunity to donate to Vested
Interest in K9s--an organization that provides bullet- and
stab-protective vests for law enforcement dogs that put their lives in
danger to protect their human partners in the line of duty. People can
donate to the campaign here (gr.pn/VIK9s).
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here:

"Much has changed in 10 years since our first 2-for-1 pizza offer in
Chicago. We're now a fixture in hundreds of communities around the
world; we've worked with more than 1 million merchants and have nearly
50 million customers in 15 countries," said Groupon CEO Rich Williams.
"What hasn't changed is our commitment to becoming the daily habit in
local and building strong communities through thriving small businesses.
To everyone who has been a part of Groupon's journey these past 10
years, thank you!"
Groupon, which has globally saved consumers more than $30 billion and
pumped more than $20 billion into local communities, is giving people a
number of ways to save money and help small businesses throughout its
birthday celebration, including 25 percent off local deals with the
promo code PARTY.*
With nearly 1.5 billion Groupons sold in the last 10 years, Groupon
designed an infographic with some pretty staggering item-level
statistics to demonstrate the enormous volume this represents:
-
85 million slices of pizza
-
66 million ounces of steak
-
33 million quarts of oil changed
-
9 million feet of ramen
-
375 years of yoga poses
