Shake Shack, Subway, Starbucks and More Introduce Holiday Offerings
The holiday season is upon us, and fast-food chains are getting into the spirit with new menu items, merchandise and deals that capture the flavors and fun of this festive time of year. Here’s a list of what’s already available:
National Fast Food Day
National Fast Food Day, held each year on November 16, celebrates its widespread popularity in the modern world. The fast food industry began in the early 1900s, as more restaurants focused on quick service. White Castle, founded in 1921, is often considered the first fast food chain in the United States. Today, fast food has become a global staple, with leading brands like McDonald’s, KFC, and Subway present in nearly every corner of the world.
Subway Spreads Joy with Footlong Cookie's Return
Subway's insanely popular Footlong Cookie is back on menus everywhere after months of demand. The gargantuan, gooey, chocolate chip-stuffed treat can once again be purchased warm for just $5 at Subway restaurants nationwide, on Subway.com, or through the Subway app. According to a new survey, 70% of Americans say chowing down on Subway's Footlong Cookie will brighten their day - second only to playing with puppies!
Pepsi Wins the Soda Wars, Replacing Coke at Subway Restaurants
In a major beverage switchup, PepsiCo has signed a 10-year deal to become the exclusive drink provider for all Subway sandwich shops in the United States, replacing long-time partner Coca-Cola. Pepsi products like Mountain Dew soda, Gatorade drinks, Tropicana juices, and Aquafina water will start being offered at Subway's over 20,000 U.S. restaurant locations from January 1st, 2025 onwards. It will take several months to get all the Subway stores switched over.
