History

Historical Context

Since the mid-1990s, U.S. food chains have leveraged nationwide free-item campaigns to boost traffic, a tactic seen in Pizza Hut’s 2008 mobile-order launch and Taco Bell’s 2012 menu revamp. Brian Niccol, who became Starbucks chief executive on September 9 2024 after leading those promotions, now oversees a brand that inspires Dunkin’ s September 24-27 2026 free-coffee giveaway.
