Program Details

• The program is meant to be a one year program so we will want the messaging to be along the lines of:• Take a year’s exploration through all things Noodles when you become a First Fifty member! • Be one of the first Fifty to get exclusive offers and a one year membership to all things “under the tent”.• By this time next year you will know everything there is to know about Noodles & Company. You might even become a local celebrity. We cant

guarantee the latter however…

• Perks of joining include: • Exclusive offers and deals throughout the year• A First Fifty T-Shirt you’ll want to hang onto b/c it will get you free stuff over the next year• A card good for Noodles for a Year for you AND your closest, noodle loving friends! (Each card is good for 2 free dishes, purchased at the same

time, once a month for a year. A $200 value). We encourage you to bring a different friend every time to share in the Noodles love (will include that messaging on the card)

• Discount spend is intensive with this yearlong program so teams must plan accordingly!
