RIDGELAND, Miss. (July 11, 2012) – Free Tea Day is back by popular demand at McAlister’s Deli. On Thursday, July 26th, 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.
“Free Tea Day at McAlister’s is an annual tradition that our guests look forward to all year long,” said Kirk Lanier, President of franchise group The Saxton Group. “It’s a special treat that allows us to thank our loyal guests and encourage those who haven’t tried our famous tea to experience what makes it so popular for themselves.”
McAlister’s Famous Sweet Tea™, the 23-year-old restaurant’s signature drink, is hand crafted several times each day to insure optimal freshness. McAlister’s Famous Sweet Tea™ is a rainforest certified black tea blend and is made exclusively with filtered water and pure cane sugar for a high quality taste.
