Happy Tax Day!

Happy Tax Day!  I know filing taxes can be quite stressful and exhausting.  Thankfully, the deadline is over and we can all stop thinking and worrying about taxes...well until next year!

To celebrate the tax day deadline I thought I would mention some awesome deals and freebies that are up for grabs to help you recover from tax season.  So whether you owed the government or scored a refund, be sure to take advantage of these fabulous deals, especially since many of these are only valid today!

**Please note that sometimes individual franchise owners choose not to participate in freebies and discounts so be sure and call ahead to avoid disappointment.**
