You can celebrate National Chili Dog Day at the end of July with a free cheese coney from Gold Star Chili.
On National Chili Dog Day, July 31, Gold Star will be giving away one cheese coney with the purchase of any regular-sized Coca-Cola product in the Gold Star Rewards app. To get this offer, you’ll need to download the free app and sign up for a My Gold Star Rewards account and add the promotion to your app on Thursday, July 31.
You can redeem the promotion in the restaurant or via online ordering in the app, and all Greater Cincinnati locations will be participating.
“Cincinnati-style chili is the heart of who we are, so it should come as no surprise that National Chili Dog Day is a special day for everyone at Gold Star,” Roger David, president and CEO of Gold Star, said in a press release. “As the name says, the Gold Star Rewards app is designed to reward our guests for their loyalty and love of our diverse menu of items. National Chili Dog Day is a perfect time for Gold Star fans, new and old alike, to enjoy a free Cheese Coney with our traditional or vegetarian chili and their favorite Coca-Cola beverage as a ‘thank you’ for their continued patronage.”
Gold Star’s classic coneys are made with their specially made hot dog, mustard, 13-spice family recipe chili and a steamed hot dog bun and then topped with onions and shredded cheddar. Guests visiting Gold Star on National Chili Dog Day can also enjoy a Chili Cheese Sandwich, made with traditional or vegetarian Cincinnati-style chili.
While all Greater Cincinnati Gold Star restaurants are participating in the National Chili Dog Day promotion, hours vary by location. You can find a Gold Star location near you and browse the menu at goldstarchili.com.
