Award-Winning Fast Casual Restaurant Rewards Loyal Customers with Free Cheeseburger Through Mobile App and Free Trip to Tampa, Florida
Burger 21, an award-winning, “beyond the better burger” fast casual franchise, is getting its cheese on for National Cheeseburger Day by rewarding all guests who download its mobile app with a free Cheesy Burger offer*. To further celebrate the holiday, which falls this year on Sunday, Sept. 18, Burger 21 will be launching its first Secret Cheesy Sweepstakes, in which one lucky fan will be flown to Tampa, Florida to meet with Corporate Chef Mike Remes. Together, the pair will invent a distinctive cheeseburger creation, which will be featured next year for a limited-time in all of Burger 21’s restaurants nationwide.
To spice things up, Chef Remes will be treating guests to a Secret Cheesy Burger on National Cheeseburger Day, handcrafted and inspired by the holiday. Those who are adventurous enough to try the Secret Cheesy recipe on Sept. 18 and scan their loyalty receipt on the app will be entered into a drawing in which one lucky fan will win a grand prize trip to the company’s headquarters in Tampa to create the brand’s new cheeseburger creation. The winner will be chosen at random on Sept. 19.
“National Cheeseburger Day is the perfect opportunity for us to thank and reward our guests for their loyal support over the last six years,” said Mark Johnston, president and founder of Burger 21. “We are eager to debut our Secret Cheesy Burger on National Cheeseburger Day and look forward to giving one raving fan an opportunity to create a limited-time burger alongside Chef Mike. At Burger 21, we pride ourselves on developing exceptional recipes that consistently deliver on the taste our guests have come to love.”
