Petro Supports USO
By David McClure
Every time you sit down to enjoy the Iron Skillet’s famous Chicken Fried Steak you can also enjoy the feeling of doing something good for our United States Servicemen and women. Nationwide travel plaza chain, Petro Stopping Centers (Petro) has announced its pledge to donate a dollar to the United Services Organization (USO) during May for every Chicken Fried Steak dinner ordered at their Iron Skillet Restaurants. Petro will also partner with the USO to launch a national fund raising campaign at the Iron Skillet Restaurants in May to sell USO window decals for one dollar.
Email this article  Petro has partnered with the USO in an effort to raise funds to support our military service personnel serving near and far through its well-known Iron Skillet Restaurants. Petro recognizes the USO in its effort to improve the morale and well-being of American service members and their families and hopes to see great results from this fundraising effort. “We want to continue to do good for the community and support our troops in Iraq,” said Jim Cardwell, President of Petro Stopping Centers. “We also want to give our customers an opportunity to contribute to the community.” The Iron Skillet’s Chicken Fried Steak is a signature menu item and an All-American favorite. It’s made from individually cut steaks, hand battered, deep fried, topped with hearty gravy and served with a side dish of mashed potatoes. Petro hopes to raise $100,000 for the USO during the month of May.
