14. White Castle’s BOGO Fries and Dessert
Let’s start things off with the fast food chain that started it all! White Castle is actually credited with being the first fast food chain because it’s been around since 1921. That means White Castle has been here for over 102 years! Talk about longevity, right? And of course, White Castle wouldn’t be here today if they didn’t run some amazing deals and promos over the years. This month, they have a pretty sweet BOGO deal for both National French Fry Day and National Cheesecake Day.
- BOGO Free Small Fries (7/12) – National French Fry Day is the only time in the year where we honor the iconic side dish. Can you imagine a world without fries? I surely can’t. White Castle’s fries are pretty great so you better not miss this deal.
