JACKSON, Tenn. — March Madness is in full effect, and the excitement is not just for the fans but for local business owners as well. As the tournament heats up, local restaurants that offer food and a spot to watch the most talked about college games are benefiting the most. A manger of a local bar tells us they are getting an increase in customers who just want to experience the “madness” with other fans. “It’s just a great influx of a lot of different people sitting down to meet with individuals, business, whatever it may be,” said Justin Williams, manager of Mulligans in Jackson. “They really sit down to have a good time — an influx of revenue.” If you want to keep up with March Madness, you can catch the NCAA tournament on WBBJ CBS 7.
