A BORDERS supermarket will give members of the Armed Forces a free hot breakfast this weekend.

The initiative is being run by Tesco's café in Galashiels on Sunday (June 30).

As a thank-you for their service, all serving Armed Forces personnel, regulars and reservists can present their MOD90 identification card at the store and get The Breakfast, The Veggie Breakfast, The Vegan Breakfast, Sausage Bap, Veggie Bap or the Bacon Bap for free.

Ashwin Prasad, group chief product officer at Tesco and exec sponsor of the Armed Forces Network, said: “As the largest private employer of Armed Forces veterans in the UK we feel a close affinity with Armed Forces personnel.

"Everyone loves a free breakfast and it’s a nice way of thanking them for their service.”

It is the supermarket's third year of offering the free breakfast. 

And this year it has also been extended to veterans with a valid Veteran’s ID card.

The promotion is limited to one free breakfast per cardholder. 

Rhys Little, chair of the Armed Forces Network at Tesco, said: “We take great pride in our connection with the Armed Forces.

"We’ve received the Gold Award from the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme twice now – in 2016 and 2020 – and we were also the first retailer to sign the Armed Forces Covenant in 2014.”
