Save on Mother's Day Gifts in the Bull City
Employee discount offers 10 to 20 percent savings at Durham businesses
For Bob and Kelly Baldwin, a Duke employee discount to a Mexican restaurant led to more than savings on dinner.
Bob Baldwin had arranged for a surprise visit from their 22-year-old son, Stephen, last December. He traveled from California and met his parents at El Rodeo Mexican Restaurant in Durham.
"We hadn't seen our son for several months, and my wife was delighted to spend the evening catching up," said Bob Baldwin, a clinical data specialist at the Duke Clinical Research Institute. "And then at the end, I showed my Duke ID and they gave us a discount on the tab. That was icing on the cake."
If you're looking to treat mother this Mother's Day (May 12), consider some specials from Durham businesses through PERQS, Duke's employee discount program.
