Community Involvement

Big Boy is proud of its unwavering commitment of giving back to the communities it serves on both the local and the corporate level. We strive to be a good citizen as well as providing great food and service. Our community commitment comes in many ways including:

• Annual Detroit Thanksgiving Day Parade

• Operation Can-Do, since 1978, a yearly event executed with the help of Boy Scouts across the state that collects food for the disadvantaged

• Celebrity Server Nights - local store events that benefit specific charities and community organizations 

• Senior Appreciation events - local store events to thank seniors for their patronage such as free breakfasts, senior discounts, etc.

• Food contributions to volunteers in Detroit for the annual Angel's Night 

• Breakfast with Santa

• Collecting Toys for Tots

• Read for Fun - a reading program for kids 10 and under; for every 10 books read, children receive a free Kiddie burger, fries and junior sundae at participating Big Boy restaurants

• Sending needed items overseas to our troops

• Collecting worn flags for disposal
