Calling all McAlister’s Deli fans, your favorite restaurant has a surprise for you, and it involves something you can pair your sandwich with!
Mark your calendars as McAlister’s Deli will celebrate their 16th annual Free Tea Day this Thursday (July 18th) by offering their loyal guests with a free big-sized tea (32 oz). Yes, you read that right. There is free tea for everyone!
What’s even more exciting is that the complimentary tea will include sweet tea, unsweet tea, tea/lemonade, flavored teas, and tea with one flavor shot.
The free tea may be offered for one day only, but one tip to get more free teas is to sign up for membership. From July 19-21, all McAlister’s Deli rewards members will get a free big tea with a purchase of an entrée. Joining is easy; just download the McAllister’s Deli’s official app and enter your details to become a member and start earning points and exclusive deals.
Free tea day details include that no additional purchase is required for customers who come in-store to redeem their free teas, making the day even sweeter. The limit is one per person in-store and four teas per app order or call-in orders via the McAlister’s Deli website or app. The complimentary free tea drinks are available at participating McAlister’s locations.
Let’s Talk About Free Teas
McAlister’s Deli is famous for their selection of sandwich trays, spuds, salads, and soups. But another thing that they are known for is their Annual Free Tea Day, which started in 2009. It has become an anticipated summertime event since! It’s a way for McAlister to promote their other food offerings as well as their restaurant’s presence by doing a countdown on social media. This strategy has pushed for the brand to grow, especially among millennials.
Now, why is McAlister’s Famous Sweet Tea well-loved? The 35-year-old restaurant’s teas are Rainforest Alliance Certified and made fresh with Orange Pekoe Black Tea Leaves, giving off a signature country living tea vibe. They sweetened the tea using natural sugar cane and poured ice, creating a cool and refreshing summer chiller. If you want to add an extra flavor, you can choose from strawberry, black cherry, and peach.
The Lemonade, which is also part of a lineup, is just your typical plain old lemonade, but the special thing is that they use cane sugar as a sweetener, just like in their Famous Teas.
If you can’t get enough of these delicious big teas, you can purchase their Tea Pass, where you can enjoy any tea of your choice every single day for 30 consecutive days! After claiming your first tea, you can now deposit one tea daily in your rewards accounts. This special offer is available for McAlister Deli’s members only.
