No subscriptions attached: Corner Bakery gifting free coffee til year's end
November 16, 2020
Corner Bakery is hoping to secure its spot on the nice list this holiday season by gifting guests free coffee through Dec. 31.
Guests who walk through the chain's doors at any location may have a free coffee of any size — no strings or subscriptions attached — according to a press release. There is no purchase or app download necessary to redeem the offer, which is available in-cafe or online for pickup or delivery. When ordering in the cafe, guests should tell the barista they want a free cup or may redeem the offer online by entering the code: FREECOFFEE. (To have the free coffee delivered, there is a $10 minimum order.)
"In light of the times, I could not think of a better way to welcome customers into our cafes than with a hot cup of coffee on the house," Jay Pandya, who acquired Corner Bakery last month, said in the release "It has been a tough year for everyone and if we can be a bright spot in a world full of uncertainty — the complimentary, delicious, hand-roasted cup of coffee you can count on — then I'm all for it."
"We know, it sounds too good to be true," Donna Josephson, SVP and CMO of Corner Bakery, said in the release. "But we assure you that it's true! Hurry into your nearest Corner Bakery, ask for a cup of coffee and it is yours. We look forward to serving millions of guests our quality coffee this holiday season!"
Guests and team members' safety is top priority at Corner Bakery, according to the release, so all employees are required to wear a mask and gloves throughout their shifts. Social distancing is enforced through markers on the floors, and where dine-in is allowed, seating is appropriately distanced. Many cafes have patio seating and/or offer curbside pickup, and all offer takeout, delivery and catering.
Corner Bakery operates nearly 200 locations in 23 states and Washington, D.C.
