FriendShip Kitchen is celebrating its 40th anniversary with a 40-day celebration featuring free food, beverages and special offers from Nov. 2 through Dec. 11.
Throughout the promotion, FriendShip is offering a free item every day for FriendShip Rewards members, with giveaways ranging from freshly baked cookies and coffee to pizza, breakfast sandwiches and chicken tenders.
“Whether you’re a longtime FriendShip customer or stopping in for the first time, everyone is invited to discover Ohio’s tastiest chicken,” the retailer noted in a statement.
Throughout the celebration, customers at all FriendShip Kitchen locations can turn any 2-, 3- or 4-piece order of FriendShip’s Famous Tenders into a complete meal for just 40¢ more.
“Forty years is a pretty special milestone, and we wouldn’t be here without the customers and communities that have supported us along the way,” said Kirk Matthews, vice president of retail for FriendShip Kitchen. “We wanted to celebrate in a way that says thank you, so instead of asking people to bring us birthday presents, we’re giving them something to enjoy every day for 40 days. It’s our birthday, but the deals are all theirs.”
The festivities begin Monday, Nov. 2, with a free 8.4-ounce Red Bull for Rewards members, followed by a different featured giveaway each day.
Among the highlights are free pizza, freshly baked cookies, Famous Tenders, chicken sandwiches, breakfast favorites, coffee and beverages from popular brands including Coca-Cola, Gatorade and Celsius.
Founded in 1986, FriendShip has grown alongside the Ohio communities it serves, becoming a familiar stop for fuel, fresh food and everyday essentials.
FriendShip became an employee-owned company in 2025.
