For fans facing fast food ice cream machine downtime, Wendy's serves up $1 Frosty treats* through September
DUBLIN, Ohio, Sept. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
WHAT:
For nearly 55 years, Wendy's® iconic Frosty® has been the go-to sweet treat fix when fans' cravings strike, while the ice cream machines at the other guys are offline – often for two to three hours at a time.** Partnering with the infamous McBroken.com developer,** Wendy's tracked where a Frosty Fix was needed the most and found Chicago, Houston, Las Vegas, New York and Los Angeles with the most downtime.**
Wendy's is showing up for fans across the country with delicious, reliable Frosty treats – available for only $1 for a small nationwide now through September 30.* Wendy's fans can count on the Frosty when they need it most, available in Classic Chocolate Frosty and Vanilla Frosty – back for a limited time!
WHERE & WHEN:
The craving for a sweet treat can strike at any time, but if fans are planning to order from the other guys they might want to avoid lunch or snack time...or really anytime between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. when machines are most often unavailable, according to McBroken.com data.** For Frosty fanatics that need a fix sooner rather than later, visit the Wendy's app to locate the nearest restaurant and grab a small Frosty treat for just a buck until September 30.*
HOW:

Consumers can even use McBroken.com to navigate to their nearest Wendy's restaurant or order ahead to make sure there's a Frosty with their name on it, right when they arrive.
