TGI Fridays® Extends Complimentary Meals to Federal Workers
TGI Fridays®, a renowned casual bar and grill dining destination, is making headlines with a new initiative to support Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and air traffic control workers amidst the ongoing government shutdown. From October 9 through October 23, these dedicated employees can enjoy one complimentary meal per day at select TGI Fridays® locations across the nation.
Special Menu for Our Everyday Heroes
The offer features a thoughtfully curated menu that highlights some of TGI Fridays® most loved items. Workers can choose from spectacular options like the signature Cheeseburger served with fries, Chicken Fingers accompanied by fries, a Crispy or Grilled Chicken Sandwich with fries, or a classic Chicken Caesar Salad. To redeem this thoughtful initiative, eligible employees need to present their valid identification at one of the over 80 participating locations, which includes both traditional restaurants and non-traditional venues like airports.
Our Commitment to Those Who Serve
Ray Blanchette, the CEO of TGI Fridays®, expressed their admiration for TSA and air traffic control staff saying, "These workers keep our country moving, and we wanted to show our appreciation. Whether they are stopping by an airport location during their shift or enjoying a sit-down meal after a long day, we want them to know that we see their commitment and care for our communities. At TGI Fridays®, we believe that dining together fosters connections, and we are dedicated to making that possible, especially for those who serve every day."
Details of the Offer
This generous offering will be available daily, while supplies last, and continues for the entirety of the two-week period, or until the shutdown is resolved. At traditional TGI Fridays® restaurants, eligible meals can be enjoyed in-house, while airport locations will provide meals for takeout only. The primary goal is to ensure this resource is accessible for TSA and air traffic control employees needing a meal during their working hours.
