“We understand that play is an integral part of childhood development and we are delighted to help encourage that philosophy through our newest Family Night program,” said Mike Griffith, Director of Marketing for Ovation Brands and Furr’s Fresh Buffet. “BEYBLADE BURST offers a healthy sense of competition among children, as well as drives them to think strategically, which is useful in school and everyday life.”
