Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s
CKE Restaurant Holdings, the parent company of Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s, is kicking off their 14th annual Stars for Heroes fundraising campaign. It is a six-week national initiative aimed at active-duty military personnel, veterans, and families in need.
The campaign will run from May 26 through July 4 at participating Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s stores nationwide. It has already raised more than $12 million since its inception, impacting military families across the nation with its support services by USA Cares and local charities.
Now, what can you do to support the initiative? You can donate at least $1 or more at the register as you order. Your donation will go directly to benefit USA Cares and other local charities that individual franchisees select. That’s all you need to do to help someone!
Cowboy Chicken
Known for their woodfire rotisserie chicken, Cowboy Chicken is introducing new salads plus a comeback dessert for their summer menu lineup. These salads pair perfectly with their rotisserie chicken as they’re tossed together in a mix of lettuce and seasonal ingredients packed with lean protein. They include the following:
- Buffalo Chicken Salad – A limited-time offering that features Buffalo-tossed tenders, served over crisp chopped greens with Monterey Jack cheese, grape tomatoes, avocado, and bacon bits, all smothered with ranch drizzle. They offer 51 grams of protein and are priced at $13. Note that the salad is priced at $13.50 in Georgia and Florida.
- Sonoran Salad – Another limited-time offering, the Sonoran Salad features wood-fire cilantro lime chicken over some crunchy greens. There’s also Monterey Jack cheese, pico de gallo, avocado, tortilla strips, and Cowboy Dust. They’re served with Chipotle ranch dressing. With 36 grams of protein, the salad is priced at $13, while it’s $13.50 in Georgia and Florida.
- Monterey Salad – A fan-favorite salad that is filled with wood-fired chicken over greens. There are also avocados, cilantro, tomatoes, Monterey Jack cheese, cheese crisps, and chicken cracklins, all smothered with zesty chili lime dressing. With 48 grams of protein, it has the same price as the previous two salads.
- Strawberry Shortcake – A fan-favorite dessert is back on the menu for a limited time. It features a golden shortcake base that is topped with fresh strawberries and finished off with a good amount of whipped cream. This dessert is priced at $5.50.
Make sure to mark your calendars, as you can get all of these limited-time offerings that will be available from May 26 until August 31.

Scooter’s Coffee
Have you imagined the perfect outdoor barbecue or a beach day? Make sure to include Scooter’s Coffee’s newest product, which is Peach Pie Red Bull Infusion. This refreshing summer drink is now available at all Scooter’s Coffee locations nationwide, but only for a limited time.
The Peach Pire Red Bull Infusion infuses the Red Bull Summer Edition with a burst of White Peach flavor plus hints of cinnamon and brown sugar. The drink is inspired by peach pie à la mode as it is topped with peach pie cold foam that features a velvety cold foam blended with white peach flavor, plus a dash of cinnamon. If you want to reduce your sugar intake, then you can order this drink with Red Bull Summer Edition Sugarfree. However, note that the Peach Pie Red Bull Infusion cannot be fully made sugar-free as it has added brown sugar for the flavor.
Worried about the summer sun heating up your peach refreshment? Don’t worry, Scooter’s Coffee now offers JavaSok drink sleeves and cold drink tumblers. The designs are inspired by their summer drink cups that are available for purchase at participating Scooter’s Coffee locations and their official website.
Through the Scooter’s Coffee mobile app, you can order ahead or locate the nearest Scooter’s Coffee location in your area. You can earn Smiles (points) with every purchase that you make through the app to redeem your rewards of drinks modifiers, food items, or even another Peach Pie Red Bull Infusion.
Wendy’s
This week, make sure you leave room for dessert as Wendy’s and Grubhub will be offering free medium Frosty Fusion. This is the perfect opportunity for you to try them, just in case you haven’t yet. The good thing about it is that even Amazon Prime members will have special access to this deal and even more.
Now through May 25, you will have the chance to get your free medium Frosty Fusion with an order of $20 or more at Wendy’s. It’s all part of the Gold Day of Grubhub+, which is a savings event made for Grubhub’s premium service. The seasonal discounts include grocery savings, reduced bills in restaurants, and even fast food freebies.
Now, if you have Amazon Prime, you can also access the promo as you get a free Grubhub+ membership with your Amazon Prime subscription. That’s already two benefits in just one paid subscription! You can enjoy the same perks just by entering the details of your Amazon Prime account.
Yup, you can now try one of the following Frosty Fusions of your choice: Oreo Brownie Frosty Fusion, Pop-Tarts Strawberry Frosty Fusion, or Caramel Crunch Frosty Fusion. The cool thing about this offer is that typically, Wendy’s only offers a small-sized Frosty as a freebie. But with the Grubhub deals, you’re getting a medium-sized one, which you can share.

From The Club
Cowboy Chicken’s Buffalo Chicken Salad and Scooter’s Coffee’s each Pie Red Bull Infusion sounds like a good match to me right now. I could just imagine the peach pie foam complementing the sweet and tangy Buffalo sauce, along with a balanced meal of greens. Perhaps, it will be a good meal to end my week for a job well done! Maybe I can get Cowboy Chicken’s Strawberry Shortcake the next time, then?
