Wendy's launching free fries promotion for Fridays

The offer for free fries will be available every Friday

Wendy’s is offering fast-food eaters a popular side for free.

The fast-food chain revealed it will be debuting a Friday-specific promotion this week that will offer Wendy’s customers a free order of french fries.

"Kick off the weekend with a Hot & Crispy treat each week at Wendy’s," the company said Wednesday.

With the Wendy’s app and an account, customers will have access to the free fries deal on Fridays when they buy something else, according to Wendy’s. All of Wendy’s fry sizes are eligible.
