English translation:something different each week
Explanation:
As per my earlier reference comment, this simply means that whatever is being described changes each week. In a similar way a 日替わり定食 is a set meal that changes each day.

The whole sentence could be translate as for example 'You can enjoy something different each week.' Obviously the wording would need to reflect the context.
