Spooky name, sweet reward: Welcome Break offers free pumpkin spice lattes
Welcome Break is getting into the Halloween spirit this weekend by offering customers with spooky names a free Pumpkin Spice Latte. Anyone called Boo, Wednesday, Buffy, Salem or October can claim a free Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks at selected Welcome Break sites on the 31st October. All they need to do is show ID to confirm their name.
The offer is a light-hearted way to say thank you to travellers who are on the road over the half-term and Halloween weekend. Whether a driver is making a long journey or just stopping for a break, the free drink gives them a fun reason to pause and treat themselves.
The Pumpkin Spice Latte is a seasonal favourite at Starbucks, and for many customers it marks the start of autumn. Handcrafted with signature espresso and combined with a pumpkin spice flavour sauce and steamed milk, the Pumpkin Spice Latte is then topped with whipped cream and a spice blend of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves.
Vicki Phimister, Head of Marketing & Customer Insight at Welcome Break said: “We love Halloween at Welcome Break, and what better way to celebrate than with a free seasonal coffee for anyone lucky enough to be called Boo, Wednesday, Buffy, Salem or October? We want every customer to leave our sites with a smile, and a Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks is a great way to start the spooky season.”
