July 3, 2013

McAlister's Deli has launched its "Sweet Summer Sweepstakes" to celebrate and reward its guests. Every day until Free Tea Day on July 25, McAlister's is giving away a $100 Gift Card. It will announce the winner of the Grand Prize — free tea every week for a year and a Sweet Summer Bash on July 25. The summer bash includes an event catered by McAlister's and includes games, music and giveaways for the winner and 50 friends.

Guests can visit McAlister's Facebook page at www.facebook.com/teafreaks or website at www.mcalistersdeli.com/summersweepstakes and enter for a chance to win the grand prize. Entrants will also automatically be entered into a daily drawing for a $100 McAlister's Deli gift card that can be used at any of its more than 315 locations around the U.S.

"McAlister's Famous Sweet Tea is such a large part of our brand's heritage that we wanted to celebrate our 5th annual 'Free Tea Day' in a big way," said McAlister's President and CEO Frank Paci. "Guests look forward to 'Free Tea Day' every summer and, to thank them for their support, we are awarding one lucky person with our tea and an unforgettable summer party."

Over the past two years, McAlister's has undertaken initiatives to strengthen its brand, including upgrading menu offerings and improving speed of service. Technomic recently recognized McAlister's as the top chain in the fast casual industry for food and beverage and as one of consumers' Top 5 Favorite Chains in the country. Fast Casual also ranked the brand No. 2 on its Top 100 Movers and Shakers of 2013 for its menu innovation, increased sales and national expansion.
