ATLANTA, GA, UNITED STATES, May 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Universal Joint is bringing back its National Burger Day celebration for the second consecutive year, offering Joint Rewards members a free smash burger all day long on Thursday, May 28, 2026.

The offer will be available at all Universal Joint locations throughout the Southeast, as well as sister concept Brake Pad. Guests simply need to join Joint Rewards, the newly redesigned loyalty program shared between both brands, to redeem the promotion.

Officially relaunched on April 28, 2026, Joint Rewards allows guests to earn and redeem rewards seamlessly across Universal Joint and Brake Pad locations, creating a more connected and flexible experience for loyal guests of both concepts.

Now entering its second year, the National Burger Day offer reflects the brand’s continued focus on community, hospitality, and rewarding the guests who have helped make Universal Joint a neighborhood staple throughout the Southeast.

“We had such a great response last year that bringing it back felt like an easy decision,” said Marc Brennan, Co-Founder of Universal Joint. “Burgers have always been a big part of both Universal Joint and Brake Pad, so it made sense to expand the promotion across both brands through Joint Rewards. We’re excited to continue building National Burger Day into an annual tradition for our guests.”
