The promotion spans towns including Happy, Kentucky; Gilmore City, Iowa; and locations in Arkansas, Texas, Missouri, Idaho, Illinois, Maryland, Nevada, Ohio, and Oklahoma. Kentucky holds special significance as bourbon’s ancestral home, housing both a Happy and a Gilmore within its borders.

The brand aims to create “a hole-in-one movie night” for residents of these uniquely named communities.

The timing coincides with heightened interest in the sequel to the 1996 Adam Sandler comedy, which brings back Sandler’s character after nearly three decades.
