Empire is now franchised in many high-growth areas around the country. I can watch the "empire jingle" tv spots in Seattle, and other cities. But, no doubt, a Chicago original.

no, the bob rohrman commercials are quite possibly the worst, yet strangely funny. Maybe its just me, but i always laugh at how I did a better job making a commercial for my marketing class than he does.
