New Dunkin' Hands Out Free Coffee In Gloucester Township

GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP, NJ — The first 100 customers at the new Next Gen Dunkin on Chews Landing Road were surprised with a gift on Aug. 22: free coffee.

The free coffee was part of the restaurant's grand opening celebration, which included a $2,000 donation to the Food Bank of South Jersey.

Gloucester Township Mayor David Mayer, local officials and members of the police department were on hand for the grand opening celebration.

In addition to free coffee for a year, Dunkin' gave customers free hot or iced coffees during the grand opening celebration, which included the Dunkin’-branded prize wheel, Dunkin’-branded giveaways, and an appearance by Dunkin’s mascot, Cuppy.

Dunkin’ franchisee Kaushik Patel hosted an official ribbon-cutting ceremony. Following the ribbon cutting ceremony, Patel, alongside the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation, presented a check for $2,000 to the Food Bank of South Jersey to further its mission to provide food for those in need.

Patel, a member of the Alliance Management Network, owns and operates 37 Dunkin’ locations throughout New Jersey. The newest one in Gloucester Township is an 1,800 square foot restaurant that employs about 25 people and is open from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. each day.

The new restaurant also offers complimentary Wi-Fi for guests and a convenient drive-thru. The NextGen store design features innovations and technologies to enhance the customer experience, store owners said.
