Latest Chipotle freebie: Drinks for students in September
By Sarah Sutton • August 29, 2016High school and college students heading back to school can get a free fountain soft drink or iced tea with purchase of an entrée at Chipotle Mexican Grill during September, the company said Monday. The promotion is the latest in a series of freebies, buy-one, get-one, and discounted offers from the Denver-based chain, which has been struggling to regain traffic after a series of foodborne illness outbreaks last year. Students must have a valid school ID to earn their free drink, the company said. The transactions still count toward the Chiptopia loyalty program, which rewards guests for paid visits of at least $6.
