Tazinos, Oak Creek Little League Partner Up for 2011 Season

Local restaurant will be exclusive provider of pizza at Oak Creek Little League Complex games.

The Oak Creek Little League and Tazinos have a sponsorship agreement in place for the 2011 season. 

Under the arrangement, Tazinos will be a field/concession sponsor for the Little League. In exchange, Tazinos will be the exclusive pizza brand sold at all league games played at the Oak Creek Little League Complex, 7800 S. 6th St.

Tazinos offered the little league a discounted per-pizza rate so they can, in turn, sell individual slices, net a profit and offset operating costs.
