Panera is giving away free bread to honor patriotic Americans.
During the July 4th weekend, the restaurant chain is offering bagels at no cost to patrons who have received their COVID-19 vaccination.
“Panera is proud to announce that in support of the White House's National Month of Action, anyone who has chosen to get the COVID-19 vaccine will receive a free bagel daily from July 2-4 in participating bakery-cafes,” the company said in a press release.
“Whether you like your bagel bread-sliced or cut through the middle, or prefer savory Asiago Cheese or sweet Cinnamon Crunch, if you are vaccinated the choice is yours for one free bagel daily during the promotion, while supplies last.”
There is no purchase required to get your freebie and you’re allowed one bagel for each day of the 3-day promotion. If you are doing the math, you can get a free bagel on Friday, Saturday and Sunday during the holiday weekend.
"During the past year, we have focused on uniting and serving our entire Panera family; our guests, associates. and communities. Today, we are proud to continue our work through support of the 'We Can Do This' campaign," said Niren Chaudhary, CEO, Panera Bread.
"We have come through one of our nation's greatest crises by supporting one another, and now, together, we can all take a simple act that will help our communities overcome this pandemic."
The offer is only good in-stores. So, if you place the order online or via the app, it won’t be free!
