Chains Roll Out App-Driven Avocado Deals for National Avocado Day

Restaurants are using promo codes and loyalty offers to drive quick visits and sales while tapping a multibillion-pound U.S. avocado market.

Overview

  • Chipotle is giving free chips and guacamole with a full‑priced entrée when customers use code AVO2026 or Chipotle Rewards, a two‑day promotion that runs July 31 through Aug. 1.
  • Qdoba, Del Taco, Moe’s, Fuzzy’s, Pokeworks, Barberitos, Farmer Boys and other regional chains have overlapping limited‑time offers that run between July 30 and Aug. 2.
  • Most promotions require app orders, rewards membership, or promo codes such as AVO2026, AVODAY, AVODAY26 and AVOSUMMER, which means access often depends on customers using a chain’s digital channel.
  • The push for avocado deals leans on a large U.S. market—estimated at more than 3 billion pounds in 2025 by the Hass Avocado Board—which makes guacamole a cost‑effective traffic driver for restaurants.
  • For brands the promotions serve short‑term traffic goals and broader strategy goals, with Chipotle’s two‑day offer coinciding with its recent Mexico opening and wider expansion plans.
