LOUISVILLE, KY - Thorntons announced earlier this week that it will give out free Thorntons Legendary Fresh Brewed Tea to customers this Friday, May 13.

Thorntons hopes the promotion will spread awareness for the tea, which it maintains is "the best possible tea every time" and is made with 100 percent filtered water.

"This is a great opportunity for our customers to try our fresh brewed ice tea and taste the difference", said Matt Thornton, president and CEO of Thorntons. "Customers can see our commitment to ensure we have the highest quality, fresh tea program in our markets."

Thorntons Legendary Fresh Brewed Iced Tea is available at participating stores in Louisville, Southern Indiana, Chicago, Lexington, Columbus, Cincinnati and Indianapolis
