Noodles & Company Partners with Care Bears™ to Celebrate Sharing and Caring with New Care Bears Share Menu

The Fast-Casual Chain Introduces Two Exclusive Care Bears-Inspired Meals, Featuring Collectible Care Bears Mini Plush Toys and a Delightful Care Bears Crispy Treat 

BROOMFIELD, Colo., Aug. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- During this back-to-school season, Noodles & Company, the nationwide fast-casual chain known for spreading Uncommon Goodness, is spreading cheer to the community by unveiling an exclusive menu collaboration with the iconic and lovable, Care Bears™ property, owned by Cloudco Entertainment. Beginning August 28, Noodles invites guests to share its new limited-time Care Bears Share Menu with friends and family, bringing togetherness to mealtime available through Care Bears' nationally recognized giveback holiday, Share Your Care Day, on September 9.  

Spread Cheer and Share Your Care with Care Bears
Sharing is caring, and there's no better way to show you care than by enjoying a delicious bowl of noodles with family and friends. The new Care Bears Share Menu offers two delightful options: the Care Bears Besties Meal and the Share Your Care Junior Meal. The Besties Meal includes a large entrée, a small entrée, and a Cheer Crispy for $14.95, making it the perfect choice for sharing. For those with a smaller appetite, the Share Your Care Junior Meal includes a small entrée, a kids' drink, and a collectible Care Bears mini plush (available while supplies last) for $8.95. The mouthwatering Cheer Crispy, made with ooey-gooey marshmallows, melted butter, and magic charm crunch, adds an extra dose of fun to the meal. Both combination meals are available for purchase online and in-restaurant. 

"Noodles & Company and Care Bears both champion values of inclusivity, kindness, and friendship, which are at the heart of Noodles' mission to nourish our guests and unite people through craveable, beloved dishes," said Drew Madsen, CEO of Noodles & Company. "We're proud to create a welcoming environment where families and loved ones can come together to enjoy delicious meals and make lasting memories, especially with our limited-time Care Bears Share Menu." 

"The partnership with Noodles & Company is a fantastic way to bring the Care Bears' message of sharing and caring to life," said Kristeen Tibbits, Head of Marketing at Cloudco Entertainment. "We're delighted to collaborate on the Care Bears Share Menu, which not only offers delicious meals but also encourages families to create special moments together.
