Several restaurants are offering deals in recognition of Tax Day. As Americans approach the Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS) deadline for filing federal income tax returns, which falls on Tuesday, various well-known chains are providing food deals for customers to enjoy.
At participating Great American Cookies locations, customers who purchase a chocolate chip cookie cake slice can receive another slice for free by mentioning the offer at checkout. Paris Baguette is offering its rewards program members a complimentary pastry with the purchase of a beverage, provided the pastry is of equal or lesser value.
Krispy Kreme is promoting a “sweet tax break” by offering a second dozen Original Glazed doughnuts at the cost of only the sales tax in their state for customers purchasing 12 doughnuts in-store. Those ordering online can receive the same deal by using the promo code “TAXBREAK”.
