Coconut Telegraph

Gecko’s Grill and Pub proudly announced the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation has honored the restaurant group by again selecting it as a Florida Restaurant Neighbor Award winner.  Additionally, the Florida Cornerstone Humanitarian Award will again be presented to the GHG’s Michael Quillen. The awards honor restaurants that go above and beyond in community service and aim to inspire other restaurateurs to get or stay involved in their local communities.  These award selections mark the third consecutive year that Gecko’s owners Michael Quillen and Mike Gowan earned these distinctions. The Florida Restaurant and Lodging Association will host a combined Marketing and Operations Summit in July in Tampa, Florida, where the award recipients will be recognized for their achievements. Each year, the Gecko’s charitable giving program grows, with the compass tilted in the direction of being good neighbors, dependable business partners and restaurateurs who contribute to the well-being of our community and to helping others. This year alone, more than 15,000 elementary students received Gecko’s and S’macks Super Student award cards to encourage good grades, citizenry, school attendance or other exemplary performance.
