Summary
- Restaurant offered free kids' meals after every Red Sox win.
- A 15-game winning streak led to thousands of free meals being given.
- The promotion has been active for the Red Sox since 2008.
A New England restaurant chain experienced a financial strain as a result of the Boston Red Sox's impressive 15-game winning streak. Since 2008, the restaurant, which originated in Boston, has honored a promotion: kids eat free every time the Red Sox win. The team's recent streak, which lasted almost three weeks from July 2nd to July 22nd, meant a prolonged period of free meals for children.
The restaurant reported giving away "thousands" of free meals, with each meal valued at approximately $8. While the streak was broken with a loss on Friday, July 22nd, providing a brief reprieve, the team was set to continue their winning ways in a weekend series. This promotion, while a popular draw, highlighted the financial implications of extended team success for local businesses.
