Last week to celebrate the highly anticipated one-hour season three premiere of “The Good Place,” Pinkberry and Baja Fresh invited fans of the brands and show alike to get into the spirit with delicious frozen yogurt and BOGO burritos.

Pinkberry launched an exciting and buzz-worthy one day activation that is forking awesome. To celebrate the season three premiere of the hit NBC show, Pinkberry served their swirls with forks on Thursday, September 27.

Pinkberry loyalty members will be in the know and could win free rewards by posting photos of the forked swirl on their social accounts. It will have everyone thinking…what the fork, Pinkberry?

Baja Fresh will also be offering their burritos, Buy One, Get One Free all day Thursday, September 27 to celebrate the return of  “The Good Place.” We have spoken to some franchisees who reported a notable sales lift.
