Dunkin’ is set to open its newest Arizona store at 3255 S. Arizona Avenue. The coffee and pastry shop is located near Hamilton High School and is on the east side of Arizona Avenue, a few blocks north of Ocotillo Road with grand-opening events and giveaways set for Thursday, Nov. 30.

The grand opening is set to involve free Dunkin’ swag, treats and free coffee for all guests for two weeks. The first 100 guests in line starting at 7:30 a.m. on Thursday will receive gift cards for future visits.

The Hamilton High student orchestra will keep guests entertained all morning and Chandler Mayor Kevin Hartke will assist with the ribbon cutting at 9 a.m.

First responders will be treated to free coffee and donuts all day long.

Dunkin’ is also hosting a two-week toy drive, supporting the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Valley. Dunkin’ will kick off the drive by dropping off $1,500 in toys and gifts on Nov. 30 and encouraging guests to join in.

“We are thrilled to open our newest Dunkin’ location in Chandler,” says Michele Reising, with Quality Brands, a large Arizona franchisee. “This is an area full of energy, fueled by Arizona’s largest high school, filled with amazing students and educators. We are pleased to welcome Dunkin’ fans with this location focused on convenience and savings for our Chandler guests.”

The coffee and pastry store’s features include a beverage bar tap system for “nitro” and cold-brewed coffee. Special holiday flavors include cookie butter cold brew and peppermint mocha signature latte.

The new Chandler location employs approximately 20 crew members, who join a team of more than 5,000 Arizonans employed at Dunkin’ locations across the state.

The store can be found on the Dunkin’ website, dunkindonuts.com.
