Subway is closing half its restaurants early on July 12 to overhaul the menu and will give away 1 million free sandwiches the next day.

Subway will give away 1 million free subs on July 13 to celebrate a major menu revamp.

The sandwich chain will close more than 10,000 US restaurants, about half of its locations, at 6 p.m. on Monday to prepare for the menu overhaul the next day.

For two hours on July 13, Subway will give away up to 1 million free 6-inch Turkey Cali Fresh subs. Customers just have to go to a Subway between 10 a.m. and noon local time and request the free sub.

The sandwich chain is calling the menu changes an “Eat Fresh Refresh,” a play on Subway’s slogan. More than 20 menu changes will come to all US restaurants with “improvements to almost every core menu item,” according to a press release.
