Since folks are starting to travel again I though it was time to repost this list of senior discounts.
Also note all places may not be open in all locations.
When we travel, we are always looking for good food at a discount! Saving money on food means more days on the road!
Our friends @theseniorlist reached out to all national restaurant chains to survey about available senior discounts.
Be aware that some of the discounts noted are offered by franchise owners in local markets. As such, the senior discounts can vary and change without notice.
Our thanks to The Senior List for allowing us to reprint their findings.
