It’s Friday, the sun is shining and it’s shaping up to be the hottest day of the year so far… what more could you want?
Well, if your answer was a free iced drink, then you’re in luck as your wish is Pret’s command.
The coffee chain is celebrating the warm weather and recent surge in sales of iced drinks by giving away free beverages at select shops.
There are of course a few caveats to this exciting news though – there are only two drinks to choose from: The Raspberry Lemonade Cooler & Feelin’ Peachy Cooler.
The Coolers, which usually cost £4.20 each, are limited to one drink per customer and they’re only available at four shops, three of which are located in London.
Customers can claim a free drink today (Friday, April 11) from the Hackney store on Amhurst Road, the Pret on Parsons Green Lane, 140 Aldersgate on Long Lane Street (all in London) and at Cross Street in Manchester.
Briony Raven, Chief Customer and Product Officer at Pret A Manger, said: ‘We’re thrilled to bring a little burst of refreshment to customers with this cooler giveaway. We’ve seen Barista-made iced drinks boom in popularity recently and we thought no better time to share some joy with our customers than by giving them some free Pret Coolers on the hottest day of the year.
‘Whether you’re grabbing one on your way to the park or just treating yourself to a midday pick-me-up, it’s the perfect way to welcome warmer days.’
If you prefer a hot drink instead of an iced one, there are also numerous ways to claim a free coffee from popular chains.
Customers with Octopus Energy are able to enjoy one free drink a week from Caffè Nero or Greggs if they have the app and a smart meter.
Freebie options at Caffè Nero include iced pistachio and cherry lattes of any size as well as all other cold and hot drinks that aren’t branded ‘luxury’, ‘speciality’ or ‘seasonal’. While the options at Greggs range from speciality lattes, hot chocolate and espresso to cappuccino.
