More Than 500 Restaurants in 30 States Expect to Serve Over Half a Million Glasses of Free Tea to the Community

Free Tea Day is back by popular demand at McAlister’s Deli. On Thursday, July 18th, guests who visit any of the participating McAlister’s Deli locations – including the Effingham location — will get a free 32-ounce, signature McAlister’s Famous Sweet Tea™. No coupon is required, and no purchase is necessary.

Free Tea Day at the Effingham McAlister’s is an annual tradition that our guests look forward to all year long. It’s a special treat that allows us to thank our loyal guests and encourage those who haven’t tried our famous tea to experience what makes it so popular for themselves.

McAlister’s Famous Sweet Tea™, the 35-year-old restaurant’s signature drink, is hand crafted several times each day to insure optimal freshness. McAlister’s Famous Sweet Tea™ is a rainforest certified black tea blend and is made exclusively with filtered water and pure cane sugar for a high-quality taste.

“You don’t expect to get anything for free these days, but on July 18th at McAlister’s Deli, all our guests will get a free glass of McAlister’s Famous Sweet Tea,” said Aubrey Jones, Director of Training for the Aggressive Developments Franchise. “Last year as a Franchise on Free Tea Day, we shared almost 7000 glasses of tea with our guests, and this year we expect to top that. It’s just a small way for us to show our guests we appreciate their loyalty throughout the year.”

Free Tea Day began in 2009 and has become an anticipated annual summertime event. This year we are making it all about our Loyalty Rewards Members too, even offering a sign up table on Free Tea Day for anyone who would like to sign up!!!
