On July 17, McAlister’s Deli’s 500+ locations nationwide will celebrate the 17th annual Free Tea Day by offering customers a free Big Tea* – one of the most beloved beverages in the fast-casual industry.
Held annually on the third Thursday in July (this year: July 17) — it’s our biggest day of the year! Each year on Free Tea Day, McAlister’s Deli gives away more than 200,000 free teas—that’s over 6 million ounces of freshly brewed tea in a single day. Enough to fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool with sweet tea!

- Offer applies to Sweet Tea, Unsweet Tea, Sweet Tea/Unsweet Tea, Tea/Lemonade, Flavored Teas, and one Flavor Shot per Tea.
- Limit 1 tea per person in-store.
