BROOMFIELD, Colo., Aug. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- During this back-to-school season, Noodles & Company, the nationwide fast-casual chain known for spreading Uncommon Goodness, is spreading cheer to the community by unveiling an exclusive menu collaboration with the iconic and lovable, Care Bears™ property, owned by Cloudco Entertainment. Beginning August 28, Noodles invites guests to share its new limited-time Care Bears Share Menu with friends and family, bringing togetherness to mealtime available through Care Bears' nationally recognized giveback holiday, Share Your Care Day, on September 9.  

Spread Cheer and Share Your Care with Care Bears

Sharing is caring, and there's no better way to show you care than by enjoying a delicious bowl of noodles with family and friends. The new Care Bears Share Menu offers two delightful options: the Care Bears Besties Meal and the Share Your Care Junior Meal. The Besties Meal includes a large entrée, a small entrée, and a Cheer Crispy for $14.95, making it the perfect choice for sharing.

Both combination meals are available for purchase online and in-restaurant. 

"Noodles & Company and Care Bears both champion values of inclusivity, kindness, and friendship, which are at the heart of Noodles' mission to nourish our guests and unite people through craveable, beloved dishes," said Drew Madsen, CEO of Noodles & Company. "We're proud to create a welcoming environment where families and loved ones can come together to enjoy delicious meals and make lasting memories, especially with our limited-time Care Bears Share Menu."
