Panera, O'Charley's Will Offer Free Meals to Veterans

On Monday Nov. 12th  Covelli Enterprises is honoring those in uniform with free meals at any one of their local restaurants.

All veterans and military service members can receive a free You-Pick-Two at any Mahoning Valley Panera Bread by wearing his or her uniform or by showing military I.D. or discharge papers.

O'Charley's in Boardman and at the Eastwood Mall complex also is offering a free $9.99 entrée to veterans and military personnel when they show their uniforms or military I.D.

"We continually work to show our customers and our community members that we appreciate them, especially to those who have made sacrifices for our country," said Sam Covelli in a news release. "We hope this token of generosity will let these men and women know how thankful we are for their service."

Panera Bread/Covelli Enterprises gave away more than 11,400 You-Pick-Two's to military personnel and veterans through the same promotion during the 2011 holiday season.
