Free Fries: How To Celebrate National Fry Day In San Ramon

SAN RAMON, CA — Finally, a National Holiday that comes with a salty snack.

Wednesday is National French Fry Day, and fast food chains across the Golden State are determined to get fries in the hands of every Californian.

Americans on average eat an estimated 30 pounds per person of French fries per year, according to National Today. Multiple surveys name McDonald’s as America’s most popular French fry, but many other chains will butter up fry-lovers with great deals on Wednesday.

Wendy’s made the bold move to turn fry day into fry week, offering free french fries with different purchases.

On Tuesday, patrons can get a free medium fry order with any salad mobile order purchase, and on Wednesday any size fry will come free with any mobile order purchase. On Thursday, early birds can get a small breakfast seasoned potatoes with any app purchase and Friday will bring a buy one get one deal on fry orders of any size.

“Fries deserve to be celebrated, so that's exactly what Wendy's is setting out to do,” Wendy’s said on its website.

Here are some Wendy’s locations near San Ramon:

• 2222 San Ramon Valley Blvd., San Ramon
• 7143 Dublin Blvd., Dublin

McDonald’s will give away a free large fry order to customers who place an order via the app. There’s no additional purchase necessary to secure the free french fries, but you will need to sign up for the loyalty program, according to Today.
