Harvey's wants to reconnect Canadians with free Better Together Burgers

Harvey's RV is back and giving away another 100,000 free Better Together Burgers to Canadians and their loved ones, starting with 12 tour stops in Ontario.

VAUGHAN, ON, June 14, 2022 /CNW/ - The last couple of years have been tough on Canadians. With this being the first summer without restrictions, Harvey's wants to reunite friends and family over free Better Together Burgers. From June 18 to September 5, the Harvey's RV and street team will be visiting 12 towns across Ontario as well as free burger giveaways in Alberta and Quebec, providing another 100,000 free Better Together Burgers to burger lovers and a friend.

Canadians can enjoy a Better Together Burger and share another tasty Harvey's burger with a friend or family member - on Harvey's! Just like onion rings and fries are better together - AKA frings - burger lovers and their friends are, too. Guests can enjoy the burgers on-site with a loved one or share a digital coupon to someone they miss to claim their own free burger.

"The last few summers have been hard on everyone and Harvey's burgers are synonymous with Canadian summer eats," said David Colebrook, President, Harvey's Canada. "Our goal is to celebrate by bringing everyone together again - and what better way than over delicious Harvey's burgers."

Harvey's has supported Canadians throughout the pandemic and are excited to celebrate Canadians being together again. During Canada's first lockdown in March 2020, all Government Healthcare Workers, Front Line Workers and their families received 50% off their orders at all Harvey's locations. In summer 2020, The Harvey's RV went on a cross-Canada tour to thank frontline workers with free burgers, giving away over 100,000.

Harvey's also partnered with hockey manufacturer Bauer and all guests were met with a Bauer hockey stick holding the payment terminal as a fun way to maintain physical distance. A portion of the proceeds of all drive-thru sales were donated to Food Banks Canada. Then, last summer, when first and second doses were being administered, Harvey's teamed up with Ontario Health teams at pop-up vaccination clinics around the GTA, offering free burgers from the Harvey's RV for those that came out to get vaccinated.

"Giving away free burgers to Canadians and offering frontline workers Harvey's discounts was our way of saying thank you for doing your part in keeping everyone safe," said Chelsea Kellock, Vice President, Marketing, Harvey's Canada. "Now that restrictions are lifted, Harvey's wants Canadians to celebrate being able to reconnect with friends and family over free burgers."

The Harvey's RV will kick-off its tour on Father's Day weekend in Oakville on Saturday, June 18 and Wasaga Beach Waterfront Festival on Sunday, June 19. An extension of the tour will continue in Alberta with 29 additional stops to give away free burger coupons.
