hether you’re currently serving in the military or a retired veteran, some businesses want to thank you for your service and sacrifice with free stuff. These businesses are either located in Plant City or it surrounding cities.
While this list was compiled and distributed by the Veterans Administration, not all franchise locations participate in their national chain’s Veterans Day programs so it’s best to contact the local business to make sure it’s honoring the promotion. Also, some businesses offer the special to both veterans and active-duty military while others only offer it to veterans. Keep in mind that most businesses require proof of military service so you’ll want to bring your military ID.
