BELOIT, Wis. (AP) — People go to Noodles & Company to eat, not to become one with nature. But that’s sort of what happened in Beloit, Wi., on Tuesday when a deer came crashing through the restaurant’s window.
Surveillance footage shows a deer charging into the crowded restaurant around lunchtime, prompting diners to scatter. The animal then explored the dining area and kitchen before exiting out a back door opened by an employee, Noodles & Company spokesperson Stephanie Jerome told The Associated Press.
No one was harmed in the incident, and the location has since reopened after a deep clean, Jerome said. The restaurant offered a “2 Buck Mac & Cheese” special on Wednesday to commemorate the incident.
