McAlister’s Deli in Goodyear offers chance to win free food during grand opening

PHOENIX — Restaurant and sandwich shop McAlister’s Deli will celebrate its newest location in Goodyear with a grand opening next week.

The grand opening at the new location near McDowell and Dysart roads will kick off at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, according to a company announcement.

To celebrate the big day, the company will donate 10% of opening day proceeds to the Phoenix Children’s Hospital.

McAlister’s Reward members have a chance to win free sandwiches for a year — as long as they’re one of the first five guests in line on opening day. Early birds will get one free sandwich per week for 52 consecutive weeks, the company announcement said.

Reward members who arrive a bit later still have a chance for freebies. The first 50 McAlister’s Reward members in line on opening day will get free tea for 52 straight weeks, the company said.
