what's new

Summer is here, and the fun is just beginning for our newest interns: Team Smiley! This enthusiastic crew is about to start their summer-long journey across the tri-state area, where they’ll be visiting fundraisers, festivals, races, and other community events from now through the fall. 

Where Team Smiley goes, fun follows. Click here to see when they’ll be visiting your neighborhood, then stop by with the family to meet Smiley and enjoy a free Smiley Cookie – or even decorate one yourself! 

All summer long, you’ll be able to read about Team Smiley’s adventures here on our blog. And, if you happen to cross paths with them at an event, be sure to check our Photo Gallery to find your photo! 

So, you probably want to know a little more about these fresh new faces. Luckily, we’ve got the scoop. Read on! 

LAINE

Hi everybody! My name is Laine. I’ll be a senior next year at E.W. Scripps School of Journalism at Ohio University. My major is Strategic Communication and I’m minoring in English. I love to read, write, doodle, cook, and explore the outdoors. But most of all, I love hanging out with my family and friends - Smiley included! I’ve worked for Eat’n Park for the past 5 years at the McKnight Road location, and I’m super excited to be a part of Team Smiley. I can’t think of a better way to spend the summer than traveling around with the team and spreading the fun of Smiley Cookies! A lot of people would be surprised to discover that I am a twin (Hi Will!). My favorite Eat’n Park meal is currently a Gardenburger with fries. My favorite Smiley Cookie shape is the classic round Smiley. They’re always a colorful, delicious treat. I can’t wait to make new friends this summer as I travel with the coolest crew around!

CAITLYN

Hello everyone! My name is Caitlyn, and I am going to be a junior at Duquesne University. My major is Public Relations and Advertising with a minor in Corporate Communications. In my free time I enjoy going to the movies and concerts. I spend a lot of time with family and friends, and I love to meet new people. I also love to read and explore all the exciting things that Pittsburgh has to offer!  I have been an Eat’n Park team member for 5 years at the McKnight Road location, and I am so happy to be working with Team Smiley. I am most looking forward to bonding with my fellow team members, (and Smiley of course!) and I want to bring smiles to all of the communities we serve! My favorite Eat’n Park meal is the Baked Chicken Bruschetta with potato pancakes and bean blend. As for my favorite Smiley Cookie, I especially like the Bunny Smiley Cookies and the original Smiley. As I look forward to the summer ahead, I can’t wait to share smiles and spread joy to everyone we meet!

CARLY

Hi everyone! My name is Carly and I am a Marketing major at the University of Pittsburgh.  I will be a senior in the fall and am so excited to be a part of Team Smiley and the Eat'n Park family!  When I'm not having a blast with Team Smiley, you can find me working at Hello Bistro in Oakland, hanging out with friends, or solving Sudoku puzzles in record times.  My favorite Eat'n Park meal is definitely the classic Turkey Club!  Eat'n Park has perfected this double-decker sandwich, which goes great with the Fresh Potato Chips and a fish shaped Smiley Cookie!  I can't wait to work with a great team to spread smiles and fun all over town!

RANDI

Hello, fellow cookie lovers! My name is Randi, and in the fall I will be a junior at Saint Vincent College studying Public Relations and Advertising, and Children’s Studies. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, shopping, travelling, reading and playing with my two dogs. As a cheerleader for the last 15 years, I love engaging with people and spreading smiles and cheer! I can’t wait to do those things with Team Smiley this summer! My favorite Eat’n Park menu item would be the Potato Soup and flower shaped Smiley Cookies, of course! I can’t wait to travel with the team and Smiley to the Pittsburgh Zoo, Kennywood, and other events this summer!

KELLY

Hi there, friends! My name is Kelly and I’ll be a junior Corporate Communication major at Duquesne University in the fall.  When I’m not hanging out with my buddy, Smiley, I love spending time with my family and friends, enjoying the sun, and dancing around my house in my pajamas.  Something you may not know about is that I love traveling, and fittingly I just returned from a semester abroad in Rome! My favorite meal to order at my neighborhood Eat’n Park restaurant is definitely the All-American Scrambler, with my favorite Smiley Cookie shape being the summer fish.  I’m most looking forward to traveling around the different communities all summer long with my fellow Team Smiley members, the Cookie Cruiser, and of course, our dear friend Smiley!
