In celebration of National Coffee Day on Sept. 29, two familiar franchises are actually giving it away instead of telling us to buy it just because the date was deemed a “food holiday” by some mysterious industry council.
Dunkin’ will give customers a free medium-size cup of hot or cold coffee on that day with any purchase. In an attempt to further establish its new name brand, the company is spinning the event as “National Dunkin’ Day.”
Then, starting on Oct. 1, Corner Bakery Cafe will begin giving all of its loyalty members a free cup of java daily for the entire month. Non-members have until Oct. 4 to sign up. There are no fees whatsoever. Simply download the app and create an account.
