Members of the Armed services will be able to get a free cooked breakfast across Wales this Armed Forces Day.
Tesco has made breakfast free across all their cafes to thank Armed Forces personnel for their service this Armed Forces Day on Sunday June 26.
To get their breakfast all they have to do is present their MOD90 identification card at any Tesco café and get a free full cooked breakfast, vegan cooked breakfast, sausage bap or a bacon bap.
There's no cafe at the Tesco stores in Welshpool or Llandrindod Wells – but military members will be able to get a breakfast in the Newtown branch, or over the border in Aberystwyth, which both have cafes.
Tesco will also be holding a nationwide collection for the charity for the Help for Heroes over the course of this weekend.
Ashwin Prasad, Chief Product Officer at Tesco and Director Sponsor of the Armed Forces Network said: “We’re proud to be able to support National Armed Forces Day which celebrates the tremendous contribution that the armed forces make to our country. It’s an exciting opportunity for store colleagues across the country to celebrate. Everyone loves a free breakfast and we thought it was a gesture that showed how much we value members of the Armed Forces.”
Rhys Little, Chair of the Armed Forces Network at Tesco, said he was proud of the record of the company to help those in the armed services: “We've got a long history of getting behind those who have been in the forces. We've received the Gold award from the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme twice now (in 2016 and 2020), and we were also the first retailer to sign the Armed Forces Covenant in 2014. We also do our best to give anyone leaving the army, navy, or RAF a chance to forge a new career.”
