Pencil it in and set those alarms to dodge the National Donut Day FOMO at Dunkin’
BOSTON – America runs on Dunkin’® and this National Donut Day, America runs on free donuts. On Friday, June 2, Dunkin’ die-hards and donut fans can enjoy a free classic donut of their choice with any beverage purchase.
No More Donut FOMO, Please! Last year, social media was abuzz the day after National Donut Day, with tweets flowing in from forlorn guests who missed out on their free donut. This year, Dunkin’s sounding the alarm, urging donut fans across America to set their alerts and turn on notifications for the ultimate donut day of the year. Whether it’s the time-honored Glazed donut, the irresistible creamy Boston Kreme or a delightful Strawberry Frosted with Sprinkles, every guest has a deliciously compelling reason to nab their free donut at Dunkin’ this time around when they purchase any drink.
To make the most of the holiday, guests can pair a classic donut from Dunkin’ with their favorite drink, from the adored Butter Pecan Iced Coffee to a full-bodied Cold Brew. Whatever donut-drink combo guests go for, there’s no incorrect way to celebrate National Donut Day – as long as it involves a free donut!
“Friends don’t let friends miss out on free donuts,” said Jill McVicar Nelson, Chief Marketing Officer, Dunkin’. “This June, we’re rallying donut fans nationwide to end donut FOMO for good. So gather your friends, grab your favorite donut on us when you order your favorite drink, and indulge in the sweet delight of National Donut Day!”
At Dunkin’, Every Day is Donut Day! Founded in 1950 in Quincy, Mass., Dunkin’ has been renowned for two things: premium coffee and donuts. At inception, most donut shops offered four donut varieties. The original Dunkin’ location raised the stakes with 52 varieties, one for each week of the year, including nostalgic treats like Creme Filled Coffee Rolls, Tarts and Filled Lemonaires. While Dunkin’s menu has evolved, all store locations nationwide still use Dunkin’s signature donut recipe, with each donut finished by hand.
Today, Dunkin’ reigns as the largest donut and coffee brand in America, selling more than 2 billion donuts and MUNCHKINS® Donut Hole Treats annually – that’s enough to girdle the globe 5 times! Dunkin’s most beloved donut remains the timeless Glazed, closely followed by the Boston Kreme. While its staple classics are available nationwide, Dunkin’ customizes its specialty assortment for regional tastes and preferences.
The countdown is on – guests shouldn’t forget to grab their free donut with any beverage purchase at Dunkin’ on June 2!
About Dunkin’ Dunkin’, founded in 1950, is the largest coffee and donuts brand in the United States, with more than 13,200 restaurants in nearly 40 global markets. Dunkin’ is part of the Inspire Brands family of restaurants. For more information, visit DunkinDonuts.com and InspireBrands.com.

“We strive to ignite nostalgia in every bite, and to do so in a way that pleases modern expectations and palates” said Chef Hollingsworth, “For this collaboration, I wanted to capture those specific tastes that are exactly like my childhood memories of The Hut. So much of the fun of ordering pizza as a family was in getting different styles, so we’re serving three brand new pizzas for Pizza Haute’s Dinner Series.”
Guests of the Pizza Haute Dinner Series will receive three of Chain’s one-of-a-kind culinary creations: The Tri-Tip Supreme – a spin on a potato pizza that features bacon fat and thyme roasted confit potatoes, Classic Pepperoni, and a Vegetarian Supreme – as well as bottles of Chain’s pizza-perfect ranch dressing and seasoning blend. Hollingsworth enlisted ‘The Professor of Pizza’ Noel Brohner of Slow Rise Pizza to create a pan pizza dough that’s reminiscent of the iconic Pizza Hut pan pizzas of Chef Tim’s youth.

The best lineup of sandwiches in Subway history just got better, now with double cheese and 18 total subs
Subway has announced the first update to its game changing Subway Series menu since its debut in July 2022. This includes double cheese, two brand new sandwiches and new twists on four fan favorites from Subway’s culinary team. Sandwich lovers now have even more craveable Subway Series options easily ordered by name and number, bringing this star-studded selection of subs from 12 to 18.
The Subway Series has been a hit with guests and franchisees over the last year, helping spur record-setting sales for Subway in 2022. And now, the best lineup of sandwiches in Subway history is getting even better.
Subway Fan Favorites, Upgraded
Four beloved Subway classics are joining the Subway Series menu — the Sweet Onion Teriyaki, Italian B.M.T., Chicken & Bacon Ranch and Spicy Italian – but with some changes that will make these fan favorites even more craveable:
#16 All-Pro Sweet Onion Teriyaki: A sweet and savory combination of tender grilled chicken strips marinated in our Sweet Onion Teriyaki sauce, American cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and red onions, piled on toasted Hearty Multigrain bread. #18: Ultimate B.M.T.®: Tender Genoa salami, spicy pepperoni and savory Black Forest ham is stacked on Artisan Italian bread, topped with provolone cheese, crisp lettuce, tomatoes, and red onions and drizzled with MVP Parmesan Vinaigrette®. #20 Elite Chicken & Bacon Ranch: Monterey cheddar cheese is melted on top of tender rotisserie-style chicken, and topped with hickory-smoked bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions and our creamy Peppercorn Ranch, all toasted on Artisan Italian bread. #23 Hotshot Italiano: This Italian sub packs a punch with spicy pepperoni, Genoa salami and provolone cheese, topped with jalapeño peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, and a generous drizzle of MVP Parmesan Vinaigrette® on Artisan Italian bread.
Two All-New Sandwiches
The all-star roster of subs on the Subway Series also has two brand new additions:
#19 Pickleball Club™: Named for one of America’s fastest-growing sports, this toasted sub is piled with thin-sliced Black Forest ham, crisp bacon, crunchy pickles and American cheese on our Artisan Italian bread, plus finished with a brand-new honey mustard sauce only featured on this sub.
#33 Teriyaki Blitz: Tender steak is marinated in our Sweet Onion Teriyaki sauce and topped with American cheese, green peppers and red onions, toasted on Hearty Multigrain bread.
America’s Fan Favorites Get a Taste
Subway gave two super fans a preview of these refreshed classics and a behind-the-scenes look at how these new recipes came together. Dancing with the Stars duo Maksim (Maks) and Valentin (Val) Chmerkovskiy have become fan favorites in their own right, and their decade-long love of Subway’s Italian B.M.T. and Sweet Onion Teriyaki make them the perfect dance partners to introduce the exciting changes coming to a Subway near you.
“Before our TV days, we were constantly going to and from rehearsals, and Subway was always an easy, delicious meal to fuel us for another performance,” said Val Chmerkovskiy. “We even thought about owning a restaurant years ago! Could you imagine Maks and I dancing behind the sandwich counter? We’re huge fans of the brand and excited to see some of our favorite sandwiches taken up a notch on the Subway Series. I could never make a sandwich this good.”

About Patrick Renna:
In 1993, actor, Patrick Renna became an overnight cultural icon at just fourteen years old when he starred in a legendary baseball movie.

In short, baseball completely changed his life. Being so connected to the sport, he realized early on the profound impact it has on our youth as America’s national pastime. In many ways, baseball brings about the things we love most about humanity: drive, dignity, passion, camaraderie, and respect.
