Beyond Meat is offering free food at Carl's Jr., Del Taco and other restaurants Friday - USA TODAY

Beyond Meat is celebrating its successful launch on the stock market with its first-ever Beyond Day Friday.

The alternative meat brand is giving away free food at select restaurants that serve its products including Carl's Jr. and Del Taco. It's also giving out $3 off coupons to use at grocery stores.

“On this day we acknowledge the hard work, the journey so far and the long road ahead,” Beyond Meat posted on its website. “And to say thanks, we’ve partnered with some of your favorite restaurants to provide FREE BEYOND MEAT menu options! Grab a friend and Go Beyond – on us.”

On Thursday, Beyond Meat debuted on the Nasdaq and its shares more than doubled. The purveyor of plant-based burgers and sausages raised about $240 million Thursday, selling 9.6 million shares at $25 each.  Those shares rose 163% to close at $65.75.

The demand for plant-based products is growing as more people want to reduce meat consumption because of health concerns, Beyond Meat's founder and CEO Ethan Brown recently told USA TODAY.

The company's initial public offering comes amid growing consumer interest in plant-based foods for their presumed health and environmental benefits.
