With the start of summer just around the corner, the special promotion gives consumers a great way to beat the heat. The giveaway will be held on National Iced Tea Day 2016, which falls on Friday, June 10th. On this day, customers will be able to visit any participating Bojangles' location and grab a free iced tea with any purchase.
