****OT***** Giant Lobster Attacks Van PR Newswire - February 24, 1998 05:21 %RST %LEI %REA %ADV V%PRN P%PRN SURFSIDE BEACH, S.C., Feb. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- It's huge, it's outrageous, its' BIG STUFF! What is BIG STUFF? The company logo says it best - 'The advertisement that grabs your customer and won't let go.' The Lobster Van is proudly owned by Sam Karos the owner of the Seafare Seafood Restaurant in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina. Mr. Karos is so pleased with the business that it generates that he is giving strong consideration to purchasing a second van. People love the vans so much that they want photos standing next to the vans. They line up in front of the van for a family picture. Karos says, "Cars will follow you for miles just to catch up and get another look. They can't forget our van." Vans have also been created for Dick's Pawn shop in Surfside Beach, South Carolina; Sam Baker owner of Sam's Corner (known for the World Famous Hot Dogs) in Garden City and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; and Goldbar Jewelers in Virginia. Baker claims that his hot dog and hamburger business is up 34% since he purchased his van. The mastermind who created BIG STUFF is Jack Macione, a graduate of The Rhode Island School of Design. Jack designed and built his first creation in June 1996 for Sam Karos, owner of the Seafare Seafood Restaurant in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina. BIG STUFF creations are basically large depictions of items that represent your business. There are unlimited designs possible and they are created as one-of-a-kind designs for your market area to reflect your business image. The creations weight about 350 pounds and are made from polyurethane foam and encased with fiberglass cloth and colored resin. If they're damaged, they're easy to fix. Photographs, designs and additional information can be found on the BIG STUFF Web pages located at successstreet.com. On April 18, 1998, Jack will be showing off the Lobster Van in the International Festival in Houston, Texas.
