PITTSBURGH, PA — Eat'n Park's iconic Smiley Cookies are now middle aged, but their grin remains.
In celebration of the cookie's 40th anniversary, the Pittsburgh-based restaurant chain will be giving away a free anniversary cookie to all patrons with a June 5 purchase.
The offer is good for in-restaurant guests and at the pickup window.
Eat’n Park’s Smiley Cookie was inspired by the favorite cookie of former chairman Jim Broadhurst when he was growing up in Titusville, PA.
Every day on his way home from school, Broadhurts would buy a big, round sugar cookie with a green smiling face drawn into the white icing.
In 1986, Broadhurst introduced Smiley Cookies in all Eat’n Park restaurants. The sweet treat quickly became a beloved icon.
Today, Eat’n Park bakes more than 8 million Smiley Cookies every year.
