Holiday Inn Express is launching a new collaboration with "Mr. Eatwell," a designer known for his whimsical aesthetics. The collaboration, starring the iconic 'Pancakesuits,' commemorates National Pancake Day by providing consumers with stylish merchandise inspired by the popular breakfast food. The collaboration will be made available on the Mr. Eatwell website, with selections including hoodies, crewnecks, and other themed accessories.
“I think the idea of someone just sticking pancakes in their pocket is hysterical. But they also do a to-go breakfast program over there where things are wrapped, which would make it a little less messy than pouring pancakes with syrup in your pockets,” said Eatwell founder Matt Rebackoff.
Shoppers who purchase a complete set of the Mr. Eatwell collaboration can score 50,000 IHG One Rewards points. Also, in honor of National Pancake Day, celebrated on Thursday, shoppers can take advantage of an irresistible offer. By entering the promo code 'Pancakemyday' at checkout, customers will enjoy a 50% discount on their entire purchase.
