The Noodles & Co. Taste Tour is being launched by the brand as an exclusive for Noodles Rewards program members that will encourage them to try out a variety of new and classic dishes at a discount.
The promotional food-themed tour starts April 12, 2025 with a bowl of Creamy Cheddar Mac & Cheese for $5 and will feature additional deals for a further 14 days. This will encourage customers to keep coming back and to try items they might not otherwise order as a way to expand their cuisine horizons.
Senior Vice President of Marketing Stephen Kennedy spoke on the Noodles & Co. Taste Tour saying, "At Noodles & Company, we’re all about delivering flavor-packed dishes and real value to our guests. With the launch of Taste Tour, we’re giving Noodles Rewards members a front-row seat to explore the bold new flavors that define our refreshed menu. Every day brings a new reason to come back, try something crave-worthy, and experience just how delicious change can be. We can’t wait for guests to dig in.”
