Applebee’s believes in creating connections across the table, beginning with a good meal. Applebee’s also encourages everyone to give our troops a ‘thank you’ of their own. Head to applebees.com/vetsday to give thanks to our military heroes with a thoughtful social media post of gratitude using the hashtag #MillionMeals4Heroes.

As part of a long-standing tradition of giving back and honoring U.S. military men and women, Little Caesars Pizza is offering all United States Armed Forces veterans and active military a free $5 HOT-N-READY Lunch Combo at participating stores nationwide this Veterans Day. On Sunday, November 11, from 11a.m.—2 p.m., veterans and active military members can receive their free $5 Lunch Combo, which features four slices of Little Caesars popular Detroit-style Deep! Deep! Dish pizza, paired with a 20-ounce Pepsi product.

A nod to Little Caesars hometown, the Deep! Deep! Dish pizza is a Detroit-style, rectangular pizza that gets its crispy-crunchy edge and chewy inside texture from baking in a custom metal pan coated with olive oil.

“Little Caesars is thankful to all of our veterans and members of the military who do so much to take care of us,” says Little Caesars president and CEO, David Scrivano. “This is a small token of our appreciation for the time they’ve served on our behalf. We hope they will enjoy lunch on us and know that we are truly honored to serve them.”

Veterans Day also marks the 12th anniversary of the Little Caesars Veterans Program. Created in 2006, the Little Caesars Veterans Program provides honorably discharged veterans with significant discounts and credits towards opening a Little Caesars franchise.

The goal is to give veterans a business opportunity when they transition to civilian life or seek a career change, and to thank them for the sacrifices they and their families made for our country.

“As an organization, we believe that our veterans, the men and women who have given so much to serve our country, should return home with business prospects to help them achieve their hopes and dreams,” says Ed Gleich, senior vice president of global marketing for Little Caesars. “So, we created a program to honor veterans and provide them with an opportunity to become business owners.”

On Veterans Day, participating Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants will offer free small boneless or traditional wings and fries for all veterans or active-duty service members to show appreciation for their service. 

To celebrate the contributions of our military around the country, Chipotle Mexican Grill is offering a special buy-one-get-one (BOGO) offer from open to close on Veterans Day, Sunday, November 11, 2018.

“This is just a small way we can give back to our country’s bravest men and women,” says Laurie Schalow, chief communications officer at Chipotle. “We can’t thank our troops and veterans enough for their services and we hope they enjoy a delicious meal on November 11.”
