Tesco offers free breakfasts to veterans and serving armed forces members in Sunderland
Veterans and serving members of the armed forces are being offered a free breakfast as part of events to thank services personnel past and present in Sunderland.
The Tesco café will be offering a warm welcome on Sunday, June 30, as part of events to mark Armed Forces Week.
The supermarket chain said as a thank-you for their service, all serving Armed Forces personnel, regulars and reservists can present their MOD90 identification card at the Sunderland Tesco café in Newcastle Road and get The Breakfast, The Veggie Breakfast, The Vegan Breakfast, Sausage Bap, Veggie Bap or the Bacon Bap for free.
This is the third year Tesco has made the gesture, and for 2024 it has been extended to veterans with a valid Veteran’s ID card. The promotion is limited to one free breakfast per cardholder.
Ashwin Prasad, Group Chief Product Officer at Tesco and Exec Sponsor of the Armed Forces Network, said: “As the largest private employer of Armed Forces veterans in the UK we feel a close affinity with Armed Forces personnel. Everyone loves a free breakfast and it’s a nice way of thanking them for their service.”
Rhys Little, chair of the Armed Forces Network at Tesco, said: “We take great pride in our connection with the Armed Forces. We’ve received the Gold Award from the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme twice now – in 2016 and 2020 – and we were also the first retailer to sign the Armed Forces Covenant in 2014.”
