Reese's Gives Consumers Relief at the Pump, Grocery Lanes
HERSHEY, Pa., -- This summer, Reese's brand will reward its loyal fans by helping consumers across the country fill up their gas tanks and grocery carts.
The "Reese’s Loves You Back" on-pack, instant-win promotion rewards customers with up to $2.5 million in cash prizes toward gasoline and groceries. Reese’s will celebrate the promotion June 22, with a surprise gasoline and grocery giveaway event that will be rewarded to the No. 1 Reese’s-loving city in America.
The promotion highlights Reese’s Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups. "Reese’s fans are very enthusiastic about the perfect taste experience that only Reese’s can deliver, and we believe our loyal fans deserve to be thanked and given something back for their devotion to the brand," said Michele Buck, senior vice president and global chief marketing officer, The Hershey Co.
