Tropical Smoothie to let kids eat free

August 25, 2009

Tropical Smoothie CafÃ© is celebrating the introduction of its new Kids Combo Meals by offering kids 12 and younger a chance to enjoy the meals for free on Sundays for a limited time.

From Aug. 30 through Oct. 3 in all 280 Tropical Smoothie CafÃ©s throughout the United States, kids can receive the new Big Kahuna Combo free on Sundays when an accompanying adult purchases a Paradise Combo. The Big Kahuna Combo includes a food item, side and 12-ounce Kid's Smoothie. Kids also have the option of choosing the new Little Surfer Combo (food item, side and 12-ounce soda) as their free meal.

The Kids Combo Meals are a prominent addition to the new menu at Tropical Smoothie CafÃ©, which debuted in August in all of the restaurants. The menu features new food items and recipes such as Cheese Pizza, Banana Mania Smoothie and a Kid Flatbread, which comes in three varieties: ham and American cheese, turkey and provolone, and grilled cheese.

In addition to giving kids a new meal option, Tropical Smoothie CafÃ© is offering the organizations that support school programs and other youth activities an opportunity to maximize their charitable efforts through the restaurant chain's In-Store Fundraising Program.

The program gives back a portion of Tropical Smoothie sales during a specified time and date to a community organization to fund its activities and events.

After arranging a time and date with the manager or owner of a Tropical Smoothie CafÃ©, the restaurant will display customized flyers advertising the fundraiser a week prior to the event. The restaurant also will provide organizations an electronic copy of the flyer to print and pass out.
