## Story

When it comes to getting free chips and guacamole at Chipotle, two days is better than one.

That’s the fast-casual chain’s latest attempt to address the growing affordability issue for consumers today. On July 31 and Aug. 1, guests can receive free chips and guac to celebrate National Avocado Day — that’s two days for the discount for the first time, rather than just one.

The promotion is available exclusively for orders on the Chipotle app and website, using the code AVO2026.

“Our hand-mashed guac and housemade chips are an iconic Chipotle pairing, and this year we’re going bigger than ever for National Avocado Day,” said Stephanie Perdue, Chipotle’s senior vice president of brand marketing, in a statement. “For the first time, we’re giving two full days to celebrate with free chips and guac with the purchase of an entrée, because one day simply isn’t enough for something this extra.”

In addition, Chipotle is also pairing with two “brand superfans,” Leah Kateb and Miguel Harichi, who later this week will produce social content from one of the California farms where Chipotle sources avocados. The video is scheduled to debut on Thursday and will follow the fruit’s journey from orchard to restaurant, and how Chipotle makes its guac.

Combatting slowing sales, Chipotle has ramped up marketing efforts over the past year with a focus on value, in particular, to help drive traffic.
