CANTON, Mass., Nov. 30, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- For the second
year in a row, Dunkin' Donuts is saying thank you to its guests and
local communities by brewing a little extra joy for the holiday
season with free coffee through its "Brewing Joy" program. On
weekdays between Monday, December 1
and Wednesday, December 20, at least
one Dunkin' Donuts restaurant somewhere in the U.S. will serve up
to 500 free medium-sized cups of its signature hot coffee. Dunkin'
Donuts is bringing the "Brewing Joy" program to approximately 40
Dunkin' Donuts restaurants in December.
Additionally, in each market where a Dunkin' Donuts restaurant
is "Brewing Joy" with free coffee, area franchisees will donate
$1,000 to a local organization
aligned with the Joy in Childhood Foundation's mission to bring joy
to children whose lives are affected by health issues or hunger. In
total, Dunkin' Donuts franchisees will donate more than
$25,000 to local organizations
through the "Brewing Joy" program.
The "Brewing Joy" program kicks off December 1 at perhaps the most appropriate
Dunkin' Donuts restaurant in the U.S., in Mount Joy, Pennsylvania. The full schedule of
participating Dunkin' Donuts locations hosting "Brewing Joy" events
can be found on the brand's blog.
According to Tony Weisman, Chief
Marketing Officer, Dunkin' Donuts U.S., "We put the word 'Joy' on
our holiday cups each year to represent the gratitude, giving and
cheer that marks the season. In that same spirit, we are
celebrating our guests by serving free coffees in select stores
across the country and giving back to our local communities through
our second annual 'Brewing Joy' program."
Dunkin' Donuts earlier this season also introduced two sweet
deals to bring further joy throughout the holiday season. Now
through the end of the year, Dunkin' Donuts' signature Hot
Chocolate is available for only $1.99
for a medium or larger sized cup*. Dunkin' Donuts' packaged coffee
is also available at participating Dunkin' Donuts restaurants
nationwide for the special price of three pounds for $19.99**.
Dunkin' Donuts' holiday menu includes the new Frosted Sugar
Cookie Donut, new Gingerbread Cookie Donut, Snowflake Sprinkle
Donut and Snowflake Sprinkle MUNCHKINS®. For coffee lovers, the
returning holiday flavors include Peppermint Mocha and Brown Sugar
Cinnamon. Both coffee flavors are available for a limited time hot
or iced, including lattes, macchiatos and Frozen Dunkin' Coffee.
This holiday season, Dunkin' cups once again feature a festive
design and the simple word, "Joy" to convey the happiness and
spirit of the season. Learn more about the innovation behind the
brand's holiday lineup on the Dunkin' Donuts blog here.
