Almost Famous is dishing out free burgers in Leeds this week… but it’s only to the people with the rarest birthday of them all.
Leap Day babies, this one’s for you.
It’s estimated that only around 4.1 million people worldwide were born on 29 February – which, of course, is also known as a Leap Day birthday – and if you just so happen to be one of those unfortunate, or in this case fortunate, people here in Leeds then you’ll probably want to get yourself down to Almost Famous this week to celebrate.
That’s because the legendary burger joint is commemorating the special day that only comes around every four years by giving away free burger this Thursday 29 February.
The catch, however, is that you have to have been born on 29 February to claim the freebie.
Rallying up all Leap Day babies on its official social media platforms at the end of last week, Almost Famous wrote: “Calling all Leap Year babies – get a free burger on 29 February with a valid ID proving it’s your birthday. Sometimes the best things only come round every four years.”
Almost Famous’ burgers are known and loved all across the UK, especially here in Leeds, and now, Leap Day babies who’ve missed out on years of celebrating get to reap the birthday benefits.
So-called ‘leapers’ wanting to bag their bargain burger next Thursday will just need to head on down to one of Almost Famous on Great George Street – and show the staff a valid form of ID that proves they were, in fact, born on that day.
The deal is expected to run all day, from the moment both Almost Famous opens right until they close, and, as far as we can tell, the free burger offer is redeemable across the whole menu, so there’s a wide choice to pick from.
So if you want to make the most of it and be sure you don’t miss out, then get yourself down to Almost Famous next Thursday and get scranning.
