National Free Hot Fudge Cake Day Happens This Thursday, December 5, 2024 at All Shoney’s Restaurants

America  (RestaurantNews.com)  Shoney’s will continue to do its annual unthinkable again – a CEO-inspired, company-wide THANK YOU to patrons a week after Thanksgiving — with its National FREE Hot Fudge Cake Day, where valued guests and future fans will be treated to its best-selling dessert for free with no purchase required this Thursday, December 5, 2024.

The 77-year young restaurant industry pioneer, world-renowned for its southern hospitality with a twist, is continuing its own national holiday by giving away a slice of an American treasure to all guests – one per guest, while supplies last. Shoney’s Hot Fudge Cake features vanilla ice cream in the middle of two slices of fudge cake topped with whipped cream and a cherry.

Shoney’s has served millions of Hot Fudge Cakes in its rich history yet its leader, Chairman and CEO Mr. David Davoudpour, decided years ago that the best way to thank his loyal guests while gaining new ones was to give slices of his American dream dessert away, no catches whatsoever, each first December Thursday of the year.

“This is one big THANK YOU, a sweet tooth meets goodwill gesture only Shoney’s can master,” said Mr. Davoudpour, proudly adding brand ambassador and biggest fan to his official brand roles. “We are a week past Thanksgiving, a little under three weeks away from Christmas and we want to shift this holiday season into high gear with an unforgettable experience at Shoney’s. National FREE Hot Fudge Cake Day is our American holiday and we are celebrating it with our beloved guests.”

Shoney’s category leadership, relevance and impact on the industry was captured eloquently and memorably once in a column in Columbia, Tennessee’s daily newspaper: Columbia Daily Herald, which focused on, what else, its iconic and delectable dessert. The article ages gracefully though its words ring relevantly and reverently every year, serving as a kind honor to the personal impact that Shoney’s has on everyone, including Mr. Davoudpour, who leads the way.

Since acquiring the great American eatery in 2007, Mr. Davoudpour has been on a driven and spirited mission to reinvigorate and revitalize Shoney’s, a family-friendly, southern hospitality with a twist restaurant brand. Shoney’s is one of the first and has always been one of the most popular, family casual dining concepts in the United States.

In order to get back to what Mr. Davoudpour confidently calls Shoney’s “Glory Days,” the brand hopes to grow through franchising following an extensive revitalization effort. Shoney’s is offering franchising opportunities to qualified single and multi-unit candidates.

America  (RestaurantNews.com)  Shoney’s, a true pioneer and a decorated darling in the restaurant industry, is doubling down on its commitment to America’s heroes past and present this Veterans Day, Monday, November 11. For years, America’s Dinner Table offered a FREE All-American Burger™ to all veterans and active-duty military on their special Day. For a past couple of years, the beloved brand shifted gears and offered its freshly-prepared Legendary Breakfast Bar® instead of the celebrated burger for FREE to military members. On Monday, that grand group can choose between the two.

“Generations have come to know Shoney’s as an American favorite for family dining and on this special day, we wanted to treat both breakfast and burger fans with The Best Breakfast in Town® or our All-America Burger™, freshly-prepared in their honor,” said Mr. David Davoudpour, Shoney’s Chairman and CEO, who proudly has an American flag welcoming guests upon entry at all of his company-owned Shoney’s. Continued Mr. Davoudpour, “Since its inception, Shoney’s has been an American dining treasure and for decades, our beloved brand has served as a ‘Welcome Home’ sign to America’s military.
