Tropical Smoothie Cafe giving away 1 million free smoothies

Tropical Smoothie Cafe announced today will give away 1 million free smoothies.

To participate, customers can visit freesmoothies.com where they can sign up to receive a single-use promo code for a free smoothie, which is redeemable through online ordering only, the company tells us.

The chain restaurant sells a variety of sandwiches and wraps, in addition to smoothie drinks. It has multiple locations between Gainesville and Fredericksburg.

The promotion comes after the company donated over 180,000 smoothies in April to hospital workers, it pens in a press release.

“We were humbled by the incredible response to the 180,000 smoothies our franchisees donated to frontline heroes nationwide,” said Charles Watson, Tropical Smoothie Cafe, LLC CEO. “The smiles we saw and stories we heard inspired us to think bigger and explore how we could do even more to support the communities we serve. Our guests have always told us our smoothies provide a refreshing, momentary escape and we figured everyone could use a little escape right now. So, we decided to extend our smoothie giveaway to everyone in America by offering 1,000,000 free smoothies.”

In support of National Nurses Appreciation Month in May, Tropical Smoothie Cafe also pledged to donate $100,000 to the American Nurses Foundation’s COVID-19 Response Fund upon reaching its goal of giving away 1 million smoothies, the company adds.

“The support Tropical Smoothie Cafe already gave to nurses and other healthcare professionals is tremendous. We appreciate them doing even more by giving away 1 million smoothies and making a generous donation to the American Nurses Foundation Coronavirus Response Fund for Nurses,” said Kate Judge, executive director, American Nurses Foundation. “Their donation will help the Foundation support critical areas where frontline nurses need immediate and ongoing support like mental wellness, direct financial assistance and national advocacy.”
