  • The promotion runs on Nov. 17 from 4:20 to 10 p.m. at all locations.
  • In partnership with DaySavers, first 100 guests get pre-rolled cones.
  • Promotion is in-shop only, no app or code required.

Cheba Hut is bringing back Nugsgiving for a third year, turning November 17 into a nationwide customer appreciation event. From 4:20 p.m. to 10 p.m., guests visiting participating restaurants can choose between a free 4-inch Nug sub and an order of Pretzel Nugs. No purchase, app download, coupon or loyalty membership is required. The offer is limited to one item per person and is available in-store while supplies last.

The two options reflect different sides of the brand’s menu. The Nug is a smaller version of Cheba Hut’s signature toasted subs, featuring the same piled-high fillings in a 4-inch serving. Pretzel Nugs offer an alternative, with soft pretzel bites tossed in garlic butter, salt and the chain’s signature parmesan seasoning, known as Shake, and served with housemade honey mustard.

The promotion also includes a partnership with DaySavers. The first 100 guests at each shop on Nugsgiving can receive a three-pack of pre-rolled cones, redeemable at the bar. The giveaway is restricted to customers aged 21 or older with valid identification, with a limit of one pack per eligible guest.

For Cheba Hut, the event is intended as a gesture of appreciation rather than a conventional discount campaign. Vice President of Marketing Alex Kayne said the company created Nugsgiving to thank the customers who have supported its restaurants since the brand began in 1998. The approach reflects the chain’s emphasis on an informal atmosphere and the relationships it has built with its customer base.

Promotions such as Nugsgiving also require coordination across individual restaurants, particularly when giveaways operate within specific time windows and quantity limits. The Competitions and Promotions feature available through Gorilla Dash can help franchise teams organize campaign details and manage promotional activities across locations. For Cheba Hut, the annual event offers a way to bring customers together while giving its restaurants a shared celebration ahead of the holiday season.
