To address the fact that 30% of households in the United States don't have a grill, Miller Lite is introducing a first-of-its-kind Grill Share program. Created to "[connect] the yearning grill-less with grills across the country," this program promises to help people make the most of the summer with good food, good drinks and good company.
For a limited time, grill rental station pop-ups will be coming to New York City and Chicago and the experience is complete with a limited-edition Miller Lite Grill, spatula, apron, folding beach chair with umbrella and a $25 gift card for supplies. Interested parties are invited to sign up online or visit their local Grill Share station, scan a QR code and enter their personal details from there.
