Here’s where military members and veterans can find deals in Charlotte on Veterans Day
Veterans Day is Thursday, Nov. 11, and Charlotte-area businesses are offering free meals, discounts and more to honor military members’ and veterans’ service to our country.
Some deals may require an ID showing active military service or veteran status. Others require you to dine in person to get the deal. And a bonus: Autobell Car Wash locations are offering all veterans and active-duty service members a free Ride-Thru Exterior car wash, or an equivalent credit toward another wash option, so you can grab that deal on the way to dinner.
