LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- On February 4, Thorntons Inc. debuted its "Free Hot Chocolate Saturdays" special offer for kids 12 and under.

"As the ultimate modern-day neighborhood convenience store, we wanted to begin a new family tradition for our dedicated customers."
And as with its entire hot beverage selections, those enjoying their hot chocolate can add flavor offerings, including fresh whipped cream and marshmallows, at Thorntons Hot Treat center.
