Kroger, a renowned retail chain, has unveiled plans to distribute an impressive 45,000 pints of its signature store-brand ice cream in honor of the upcoming summer solstice on June 20, 2024. This generous offering is equivalent to 50 pints of ice cream being given away per minute throughout the day.
As the summer solstice marks the official commencement of the season, Kroger’s initiative is a fitting tribute to the longest day of sunlight in the Northern Hemisphere, spanning approximately 15 hours. Juan De Paoli, the Vice President of Kroger brands, expressed excitement over the promotion, stating, “Summer signifies cherished moments with family, leisurely hours by the pool, and the indulgence in our favorite treats. Nothing encapsulates a perfect summer day quite like sunshine paired with Kroger brand ice cream.”
Customers eager to partake in this delightful promotion can secure their free pint of Kroger-brand ice cream by redeeming a single-use digital coupon on June 20. This coupon is valid for use across most Kroger family stores and can be applied to both pick-up and delivery orders.
Despite the widespread excitement, residents in ten states, including California, Colorado, and Tennessee, will unfortunately not be able to participate due to state regulations concerning dairy products, as disclosed by Kroger spokesperson Erin Rolfes to Fox News Digital.
