    I liked how you talked about the half orders that were now available when describing the new menu options. I also thought you picked some awesome quotes.

    Put "For Immediate Release" at the top, not "Immediate Publication".

    Remove "CONTACT:" from the top as it belongs at the bottom of a press release.

    Your phone number and dateline are not AP Style.

    Jayne is not the most important part of the release, so she is not the main part of the lead and she is not the headline. She can be the sub-head and she is definitly supportive information in the release.

    Saying "revolutionizing the industry" might be going a little to far unless you have data or a quote from a credible person to back it up.


    If you're going to say "shake the fast food industry up" explain why or what that means.

    You need to add a boilerplate and -END- at the very end of the release.
