Summer Gets Bueno is the annual program from Kinder Bueno that's devoted to helping travelers take their road trips from average to extraordinary, and this year, the brand created a themed rest stop to help travelers refuel and replenish. The Summer Gets Bueno: Savor the Journey rest stop takeover in Connecticut promises a white glove experience that also treats visitors to free Kinder Bueno and limited-edition Kinder Bueno White Chocolate bars.
As Shalini Stansberry, Vice President of Marketing, Kinder Snacking, detailed in a press release, "94% of people headed on a road trip this summer will bring chocolate and candy with them. We also know that rising airline costs mean more travelers are choosing road trips over flying this summer."
