McAlister's Deli continues free tea promotion

July 11, 2012

McAlister’s Deli is holding its annual Free Tea Day on July 26. Guests who visit any of the participating McAlister’s Deli locations will get a free 32-ounce, signature McAlister’s Famous Sweet Tea.  No coupon is required and no purchase is necessary.

“You don’t expect to get anything for free these days, but on July 26 at McAlister’s Deli, all our guests will get a free glass of McAlister’s Famous Sweet Tea,” said McAlister’s Deli president and CEO Frank Paci. “Last year on Free Tea Day, we shared over 225,000 glasses of tea with our guests, and this year we expect to top that. It’s just a small way for us to show our customers we appreciate their loyalty throughout the year.”

McAlister’s Famous Sweet Tea, the 23-year old restaurant’s signature drink, is hand crafted several times each day to ensure optimal freshness. McAlister’s Famous Sweet Tea is a rainforest certified black tea blend made exclusively with filtered water and pure cane sugar.

Free Tea Day began in 2009 and the company is promoting Free Tea Day with in-store and social media activities including weekly photo contests and a “Sweet Tweet of the Week.”
