Landers offers free membership, renewal for frontliners

They say real superheroes don’t wear capes because many of them wear uniforms and badges or scrubs and lab coats. They are our frontliners – the ones who immediately take action to save lives or help those in need, especially during challenging times.

For their tireless dedication to their profession, Landers is honoring them on its 8th anniversary celebration with a complimentary membership card to the Superstore so that they can shop and create more wonderful memories at the country’s fastest growing membership store.

Our modern heroes will surely enjoy regular deals and promotions like Instant Savings, Super Crazy Sale, and Fresh & Produce Sale that help members save more all year-round.

And of course, after a day’s work of saving lives and keeping our country safe, frontliners can reward themselves with a relaxing dining experience at the grocery chain's in-house restaurant and café, Central and Doppio. Landers Central offers New York-inspired dishes, such as the crowd favorite 18-inch Extra Large Real NY Style Pizza, crispy fried chicken, premium pasta, and Angus beef burger.
