."Tim's Hug"is in fact an item on the menu described as a"love"treat.Tim's hugs are doubly special because of everything he has achieved.The 26-year-old is probably the only Down syndrome sufferer(唐氏综合症患者)in the U.S.to own a restaurant,but he has several other things to be proud of--he's a skillful special Olympian,an excellent sailor,and all experienced fisherman.He was also chosen as Homecoming King and Student of the Year in high school!So when a man like Tim hugs you,it is sure to be a special and unforgettable experience
When Tim expressed interest in opening a restaurant,Keith,a small businessman himself,supported him.Tim hired other people to manage the place and do the cooking,and he introduced the idea of free hugs.He realized that people want to feel at home at a restaurant.That is why he included"love"as all item on the menu.Customers can order the free hug from Tim,and even if they don't,he'll probably hug them anyway.
The restaurant has been around since 2010,and Tim has given out over 19,000 hugs in the past five years--he keeps count using a special Hug Counter.Many customers love visiting"Tim's Place"."I've been coming here once a week."said Michelle Garth-Jones,a regular customer."I love local restaurants,and this special one has a story that stays with you."
