Pittsboro, NC – On May 20, 2024, Dunkin’ welcomed a new store with a ribbon-cutting ceremony that brought folks together in celebration. The event featured local dignitaries, business leaders, and a special donation to Special Olympics North Carolina. There were speeches, cheers, and plenty of coffee and donuts, at this grand opening.
The new Dunkin’ store, located at Northwood Landing, has created over 30 jobs, offering positions ranging from baristas to management roles.
Community Engagement and Support
Dunkin’ has long been known for its commitment to the communities it serves. This new store is no exception. The grand opening featured a special donation of $4,000 to Special Olympics of North Carolina, continuing Dunkin’s tradition of supporting local charitable organizations. This contribution is part of Dunkin’s broader philanthropic efforts, which last year saw the company donate $100,000 to various causes in just two weeks.
A Moment of Celebration
The ribbon-cutting ceremony was marked by applause, cheers, and a sense of excitement. Local officials, including the mayor and the sheriff, joined Dunkin’ executives to cut the ceremonial ribbon. The crowd, consisting of local residents, business leaders, and Dunkin’ enthusiasts, watched as the ribbon was cut, officially opening the store.
“On the count of three… one, two, three!” The crowd erupted in applause as the ribbon was cut, marking the beginning of a new chapter for Dunkin’ in this community.
Menu Offerings

The store offers a variety of coffee blends, espresso drinks, teas, and specialty beverages like the popular Dunkin’ Refreshers.
In addition to beverages, the menu features an array of breakfast sandwiches, bagels, muffins, and the new plant-based options that cater to the growing demand for vegan and vegetarian choices. The grand opening showcased some of these new menu items.
