Pilot Flying J Invites Guests to ‘Relish’ National Hot Dog Day

July 12, 2019

Relish today and “ketchup” tomorrow by taking a break to savor a free hot dog from Pilot Flying J in celebration of National Hot Dog Day on July 17.

Guests who download or open the Pilot Flying J app on July 17, will find an exclusive offer to redeem for one free roller grill item, including 100% all-beef hot dogs, at any participating Pilot Flying J location. First-time users also will receive an additional free drink of their choice upon downloading the app.

“Let’s be ‘frank,” what could be better than a classic hot dog on a summer day? A free one!” said Shannon Johnson, vice president of innovation for Pilot Flying J. “Stop by any participating Pilot or Flying J location to redeem your offer for a free hot dog or grill item, top it off with your favorite fixings and fulfill that craving for a timeless American treat.”

Memorial Day through Labor Day not only marks the unofficial beginning and end of the summer vacation season, it signifies peak hot dog season. According to the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council, Americans typically consume 7 billion hot dogs – or 818 hot dogs every second – during that period.

Guests who take advantage of the National Hot Dog Day promotion can customize their free hot dog with Pilot Flying J’s extensive offering of fresh cold toppings, ranging from sauerkraut to sliced jalapenos and banana peppers. The roller grill menu includes a variety of other “crave-able” options at select locations, including:

  • jalapeno cheese hot dogs,
  • Johnsonville grilled brats,
  • Johnsonville country recipe sausages,
  • and breakfast sausage links, available during breakfast hours.
