Furniture company offers to waive bills if Packers win Super Bowl

.
WAUSAU, Wis. — A furniture company has offered to waive the bill for some customers if the Green Bay Packers win Super Bowl XLII in February.

The Fonti family owns eight stores in Wisconsin. They will waive the bill for all purchases made between Dec. 26 and Jan. 1 if the Packers win, said Vinnie Fonti, vice president of merchandising.
There’s no limit to how much customers can spend.

“It can be as little or as much as they want,” Fonti said. “They can furnish the entire house and it can be free.”

Fonti said he and his brothers, Joe and Bill, are lifelong Packers fans. They have insurance to pay for items sold this week if the team wins the Super Bowl.

“We wouldn’t have ran it if we had to root against Green Bay, so we want them to go all the way,” Fonti said.

Other companies have made similar offers, and one in Boston had to pay this year after the Red Sox won the World Series, he said.

The Fontis’ offer is good at Furniture & ApplianceMart stores in Wausau, Plover, Rhinelander, Oshkosh and De Pere and Ashley Furniture HomeStores in Appleton, Green Bay and Plover.
