Food Franchises Celebrate the Class of 2025 with Gift Card Deals, Discounts and Specials
Updated May 23, 2025
It’s graduation season, and the class of 2025 has a lot to be proud of. Not only did students have to balance academic pressures with extracurricular activities and other demands, but the class of 2025 also had to navigate online learning through the pandemic lockdown. It’s no wonder that Gen Z grads’ taste for fast-food has increased dramatically; about 60% of Gen Z and Millennials report ordering takeout more often than they did a year ago, according to the National Restaurant Association.
Food franchises are showing their appreciation while also celebrating the achievements of the class of 2025 by offering free treats and discounts on meals and gift cards. Read on for a list of restaurant brands participating in graduation season festivities.
