On behalf of Clyde's Restaurant Group who currently owns and operates two restaurants (one in Alexandria and one in Ashburn) plus a third under construction in Reston, we are in full support of extending the ability to offer happy hour programs and pricing past 9pm.

Customer trends have changed over time and the ability to attract guests after the normal dinner period of 6pm-9pm is critical to driving financial success for our operations and our employees.

Neighboring jurisdictions (ie. DC) to not have such limitations causing many to shape their plans to take advantage of those offerings, putting our VA locations at a disadvantage.

Sincerely,

David Moran
