To celebrate the start of the new university year and a much-anticipated return to full in-person learning for students around the UK, restaurant chain Frankie & Benny’s recently completed phase one of a country wide free vegan hot dog giveaway to students.
When looking at how the brand could provide students with a tasty treat and some much-needed cheer, the ‘Vegan Hotdog University Tour’ was the obvious choice.

Gabby Barysaite, senior brand manager, Frankie & Benny’s, said: “Our recent ‘Vegan Hotdog University Tour’ has proved to be such a hit, and with such positive feedback from students across the country, it’s a programme that we’re committed to continuing – with a focus on universities in Scotland and Wales.”
She continued: “We pride ourselves on our vegan and vegetarian menus and as a company it’s something that we’re always looking to adapt and update.
