Two-day birthday celebration jump starts the holiday shopping season with extra savings
Groupon (NASDAQ: GRPN) is turning 10, and the global marketplace for local services, experiences and goods is marking its decade evolution from a daily deals company into a local ecommerce leader with a two-day birthday celebration. The Groupon 10th Birthday Sale runs from Nov. 17-18 and features extra savings on ways to look good and have fun this holiday season. In addition, Groupon has brought back the most successful fundraising campaign ever launched via its platform, which provides people with the opportunity to donate to Vested Interest in K9s––an organization that provides bullet- and stab-protective vests for law enforcement dogs that put their lives in danger to protect their human partners in the line of duty. People can donate to the campaign here (gr.pn/VIK9s).

“Much has changed in 10 years since our first 2-for-1 pizza offer in Chicago. We’re now a fixture in hundreds of communities around the world; we’ve worked with more than 1 million merchants and have nearly 50 million customers in 15 countries,” said Groupon CEO Rich Williams. “What hasn’t changed is our commitment to becoming the daily habit in local and building strong communities through thriving small businesses. To everyone who has been a part of Groupon’s journey these past 10 years, thank you!”
Groupon, which has globally saved consumers more than $30 billion and pumped more than $20 billion into local communities, is giving people a number of ways to save money and help small businesses throughout its birthday celebration, including 25 percent off local deals with the promo code PARTY.*
With nearly 1.5 billion Groupons sold in the last 10 years, Groupon designed an infographic with some pretty staggering item-level statistics to demonstrate the enormous volume this represents:
85 million slices of pizza
66 million ounces of steak
33 million quarts of oil changed
9 million feet of ramen
375 years of yoga poses
