The Pennant to Hold Five Year Anniversary with Week of Celebrations

The Pennant in Downtown Topeka celebrates its five-year anniversary next week and will be holding special events everyday starting Sunday, March 12 through Saturday, March 18. Activities include autograph signings and photo ops with KU legends and former NBA players Sherron Collins and Tyshawn Taylor, and current KSU football stars Daniel Green and Austin Moore. Other highlights will include free bowling and arcades, glassware giveaways, Walnut River Tap Takeover, Bob’s Burgers trivia night, and St. Patrick’s Day festivities Friday and Saturday.

“From day one, we knew our mission was to help improve the landscape of downtown Topeka. We’ve seen amazing transformation on Kansas Avenue, but also throughout our city.” said Todd Renner, General Manager at The Pennant. “I couldn’t be more proud of what we’ve accomplished with our incredible team, and what we have to look forward to going into the next five years!”

The restaurant opened its doors on March 16, 2018, in the midst of March Madness, Spring Break, and St. Patrick’s Day, bringing in more than 2000 customers in its first three days of business. Even in the light of the 2020 Covid pandemic, The Pennant has held steady, and has remained an anchor merchant in downtown.

“We have fully recovered from the days of Covid,” said Seth Wagoner, CEO of Aim Strategies. “Our community showed up and supported us more than we could’ve asked. This anniversary celebration is our way of saying thank you to those who have made The Pennant what it is today. We’re excited to see what the next five years has in store and owe much gratitude to those who are joining us in the journey!”

Anniversary celebrations are open to all, and specific details can be found on The Pennant’s event page: https://www.thepennanttopeka.com/calendar/.
