Springfield restaurant adds lunch to its menu

A chance for a free treat on Sept. 15
Nothing Bundt Cakes is offering the first 300 in-person guests at each bakery a free personal-sized confetti-flavored Bundt cake on Sept. 15 for its "first-ever National Bring the Joy Day," according to a news release. The Springfield location is at 2906 S. Glenstone Ave. and opens at 9 a.m.
The national giveaway is part of the franchise bakery's "10 Million Bites of Joy" campaign, where "the brand will share 10 million bites of cake through giveaways, in-bakery sampling, fundraising efforts" and community events from Aug. 24 to Oct. 4.
"Nothing Bundt Cakes was built on the belief that cake has the power to bring joy," said Dolf Berle, CEO of Nothing Bundt Cakes, in the news release. "It's what our bakeries have done every day since 1997. Through 10 Million Bites of Joy, we're celebrating it on a bigger scale than ever — and giving joy a day of its own.”
The Dallas-based company has 841 franchised and corporate bakeries across the U.S. and Canada.
