Fast Casual: Halloween scaring up food freebies across the nation

Many brands are taking advantage of Halloween as an opportunity to engage consumers by offering freebies and discounts. According to a recent article in Fast Casual, brands including Chipotle, Cici's Pizza and Krispy Kreme will be offering free items to customers dressed in costume.

The Chipotle deal offers a $3 burrito to fans that show up to the restaurant in costume. Known as Boorito, the deal will run from 3p.m. until closing time.

"Boorito is a Chipotle tradition. Our customers love it, and our restaurant teams have a great time, too. Whether your costume is elaborate, or you just grab some aluminum foil and arrive as a burrito, it's a great way to add some delicious food to your Halloween celebration," said Mark Crumpacker of Chipotle.
