JACKSON, Tenn. — Life is short, eat the donut and don’t forget the coffee! Some Dunkin’ Donuts lovers will be doing that every day for 100 days.

Dunkin’ Donuts had a grand opening for the newest next generation restaurant located on 2741 North Highland Ave in Jackson on Wednesday. And to celebrate, Dunkin’ gave away ‘100 days of free coffee’ to the first 100 guests in line.

“Coffee everyday!” said Rachel Vanpelt, giveaway winner. “Yes, we are so excited!,” said Lindsey Barnes, giveaway winner.

The whole community joined in on the celebration with Northside High School’s marching band stopping by. The Greater Jackson Chamber welcomed the new restaurant with a ribbon cutting.

And $3,000 was donated to RIFA from the Dunkin’ franchisee, Catalano Route-65 Management and the ‘Dunkin Joy in Childhood Foundation.’

“One thing about Dunkin’ Donuts and why we are so strong is we are about the community; we like to work with the schools. We like to raise money and give it back as well,” said Carla Cutter, chief executive officer for Dunkin Donuts.

In addition to 100 free cups of coffee, there was also face painting and giveaways.

“So we got to spend the wheel, I won a hat. I spun 4,” said Vanpelt. “I won a Koozie for my coffee!,” said Barnes.

The coffee and donut shop is well-known for their innovative beverage strategies and delicious donuts.

With Dunkin’s next gen design, the store features premium pours, with coffee on tap and a front-facing bakery case for a closer look at the fresh donuts available.
