[TGI Fridays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teacher-appreciation-days) is dubbing February 10th as a day of "app"reciation and it is saying thanks to delivery drivers with [free apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/national-chicken-wing-day1). To all of the couriers, carriers, and hard-working delivery individuals, TGI Fridays is saying a heartfelt thank you for keeping the global supply chain going.

On February 10th, all delivery drivers are invited to show up at a participating location (in uniform or with their credentials) and identify that they work in the delivery business. They are then eligible to get their choice of free appetizer, with options including Green Bean Fries, Loaded Potato Skins, Spinach & Artichoke Dip, and more.

To celebrate these unsung heroes online, TGI Fridays is inviting people to express gratitude with the #FridaysAPPreciation tag.
