Franchise Brands Add Holiday-Inspired Desserts to Menus, Offer Take-Out Options
During Easter, the most important day of the year for Christians, families spend quality time together dyeing eggs, filling baskets with festive treats and eating a delicious meal often featuring meat and desserts they abstained from during Lent!
Franchise brands like Nothing Bundt Cakes (above), Dickey’s Barbecue Pit, Krispy Kreme and more are hopping into Easter and the spring season with seasonal discounts and specials. With more than 60 percent of adults in the U.S identifying as Christian according to Pew Research, these brands will likely experience more foot traffic and sales — and a visit from the Easter bunny! — this April 5.
