Food Franchisors Score Points with Big Game Bargains
With Super Bowl LVII coming up this Sunday, Feb. 12, food franchises are offering specials, deals, and promotions to take watch parties to the next level. While pizza and wings are traditional go-to options, franchise businesses also offer pretzels, sandwiches, barbecue, and more to enhance Big Game food spreads.
Not only do franchise brands benefit from huge sales (Domino’s sold enough pizzas during last year’s Super Bowl to stretch across about 7,000 football fields!), but over 100 million viewers can see Big Game ads. With or without a Super Bowl ad, brands like Auntie Anne’s, Applebee’s, and Dickey’s Barbecue Pit score touchdowns with foodies and football fans by bringing on Big Game fun.
Here is a sampling of 2023 Super Bowl fast-food specials, deals, and promotions.
