National Chains Roll Out Memorial Day Deals From $1 Wings to $20 Delivery Discounts
6 articles · Updated · Deseret News · May 22
Memorial Day weekend promotions span dozens of national chains, with offers on dine-in, takeout and delivery running mainly from May 22 through May 26, and some extending to May 31 or June 10.
Price cuts range from Applebee’s $15.99 all-you-can-eat meal and Wingstop’s $1-per-wing bundles to Krispy Kreme’s $2 dozen add-on and 7-Eleven’s $20 off 7NOW orders of $30 or more.
Delivery and app-based incentives are a major theme: Olive Garden is waiving delivery fees, Grubhub is bundling member perks such as $10 off Starbucks orders over $20, and several chains require promo codes or rewards enrollment.
The holiday push also includes cause marketing and group-order offers, with Blaze Pizza donating $1 from each 11-inch pizza sold on May 25 and Houston TX Hot Chicken giving 20% off catering and family bundles over $50.
Are these massive food discounts a smart holiday strategy or a desperate race to the bottom for restaurants?
With rising delivery fees, are cheaper 'click & collect' deals making third-party apps like Grubhub obsolete?
