Dunkin' Offers Free Coffee Today For National Coffee Day

Dunkin Offers Free Coffee Today For National Coffee Day...

Dunkin' is giving away free medium hot or iced coffee to customers on Thursday, April 23, in celebration of National Coffee Day. The promotion, available at participating locations nationwide, requires no purchase and is part of the chain's annual tradition to mark the caffeinated holiday.

The offer is valid from store opening until 2 p.m. local time, with no coupon or app download required. Customers can choose between hot or iced coffee, though specialty drinks and add-ons are excluded. Dunkin' joins other major chains like Starbucks and Peet's in offering free or discounted coffee for the occasion.

Social media has been buzzing with excitement, with #FreeDunkin trending on Twitter as customers share their plans to grab the freebie. The promotion comes as coffee chains compete for loyalty in a crowded market, with Dunkin' recently expanding its menu to include more plant-based options.

National Coffee Day, observed annually on September 29 in the U.S., was moved to April this year due to a partnership with the National Coffee Association. The shift aims to align with spring promotions and capitalize on warmer weather demand for iced beverages.

Dunkin' last offered a similar free coffee deal in February for its annual "Free Coffee Week" promotion. Analysts say these giveaways help drive foot traffic and introduce new customers to the brand's expanded menu offerings.
