Restaurants offering military discounts to honor those who serve

May 27, 20193 min read

On Memorial Day, the last Monday of every May, we honor and remember those who died while serving in the United States Armed Services.

Some businesses and restaurants extend their gratitude to veterans and actively serving military members by offering discounts. We’ve compiled a list of restaurants who offer their discounts year round.

We have only included the restaurants who have communicated with us regarding their discounts; if you know a restaurant or you are a restaurant who offers military discounts, please tell us the amount and we’ll add you to this list.

@Dedicatedgf is for sale, but it’s not closing. The Midtown bakery at 4500 E. Speedway Blvd. will continue normal operations into 2027 and is accepting holiday orders.

Owner Jennifer Kinkade announced the listing on Instagram, explaining that rising operating costs and accumulated debt have made it difficult to sustain the business, despite steadily increasing year-over-year sales since 2020. The sale includes the business, recipes, lease and equipment. Kinkade is also open to a partnership or angel investor. The buyer would not assume the bakery’s existing debt.

Dedicated offers an entirely gluten-free facility with vegan and dairy-free options, including pastries, bread, cookies, pies and custom cakes.

Interested buyers can email jen@dedicatedgf.com. Customers can continue placing holiday orders as usual.
