Breakfast Shoppe to Give Away Diamond on Black Friday

The Breakfast Shoppe will give away a 0.5-carat diamond worth $1,200 to one lucky winner on Black Friday.

The local restaurant is teaming with Severna Park's Mercado Jewelers to present the Black Friday Diamond Giveaway. Starting at 6 a.m. on Friday, guests who “check in” at The Breakfast Shoppe on Facebook will have a chance to reach into a bowl filled with cubic zirconium "diamonds,” said owner Kyle Algaze.

“On Facebook there is a little icon when you are at a restaurant that says ‘check in here,’ so all you do is click the ‘check-in’ button and show your server,” Algaze said. “We have done the ‘check-in’ thing before and it worked well.”

In with the cubic zirconium "diamonds” is one real 0.5-carat diamond worth $1,200. Anyone who picks a diamond out of the bowl will then need to go to Mercado Jewelers to find out if they have the real thing.

Algaze said he has 100 cubic zirconium “diamonds” and one real diamond, so one-in-100 participants will win.

The Breakfast Shoppe will open at 6 a.m. on Black Friday, which is Nov. 23.

“This is the first time we have done this and I am interested to see what is going to happen,” Algaze said. “Given what I know about our guests I think this will be good. They just need to here early enough—usually on Black Friday they are lined up out the door.”
