A return to some normalcy. When my grandkids were a bit younger, this was a huge deal -- getting their free cookie!
Publix brings back free cookies for kids
There may not be such a thing as a free lunch, but free cookies are a different story.
One of the nation’s largest grocery chains announced the return of a fan-favorite feature of its bakeries. The chain made the announcement that a popular program was returning just over one year after announcing that it was suspending that program.
Publix is bringing back the free kids cookie program, Fox 13 reports. The grocery store chain has announced that the program will be returning company-wide.
According to the news outlet, Publix’s main bakery plant has the ability to produce 2,400 cookies a minute, which are then shipped to the chain’s 1,200 stores nationwide.
