There was a little bit of Stars Hollow in Louisville on Wednesday.
Please & Thank You on Market Street and Frankfort Avenue turned into Luke's Diner for the day.
Main characters Lorelai and Rory in the hit show, "Gilmore Girls," love their coffee. To celebrate the return of the dramatic comedy on Netflix, coffee shops all over North America turned into the mother and daughter's favorite place to drink their coffee: Luke’s Diner.
The show ended in 2007, but it will be back on Netflix starting Nov. 25. It will be a mini-series with four 90-minute episodes titled "Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life." Each episode will be named after a season: “Winter,” “Spring,” “Summer” and “Fall.” The show takes place about eight years after we last saw Lorelai and Rory.
As a promotion, Netflix sponsored free coffee at Please & Thank You in Luke's Diner cups and employees wore backwards baseball caps, just like Luke often does in the show. A replica of the Luke’s Diner sign hung in the window.
The free coffee supply only lasted an hour, but fans still lined up afterward to buy their coffee in the famous Luke's Diner cup.
