Harry the Happy Dragon is ready to give away free cookies as Harris Teeter announced the return of the "free cookies for kids" program. The benevolent program, which has been running for over three decades, allows kids of all ages to enjoy at least one sugar cookie for free at all H.T. supermarket stores across the United States.
Removed from stores during the pandemic and put on a temporary halt due to caution, the "free cookies for kids" program is finally back at stores nationwide, starting from January 10, 2024. Just like the old times, free sugar cookies can be found at the bakery counter or in the deli area at every H.T. location.
The supermarket store chain announced the return of the "free cookies for kids" program through a press release on January 10, 2024, with its mascot, Harry the Happy Dragon, commenting:
“I’ve been reading your letters asking me to bring back my favorite cookies. Well, I’ve heard you! After making more than a little mess in my kitchen, I’m thrilled to introduce a whole new group of shoppers in training to these sweet treats. I hope to see you at a Harris Teeter store soon!”
