Guests of the new Dunkin’ Donuts location will enjoy special giveaways and ribbon cutting ceremony on grand opening day
CULVER CITY, CALIF. (Aug. 10, 2015) – Dunkin’ Donuts, America’s all-day, everyday stop for coffee and baked goods, is giving West Los Angeles a reason to celebrate with the opening of a new Dunkin’ Donuts location in Culver City. The new restaurant, located at 13300 Washington Blvd., will open its doors at 5 a.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 11. To commemorate the grand opening, the first person in line will receive free coffee for one year while the first 100 guests to be served will receive a Dunkin’ Donuts tote bag filled with special items.
Dunkin’ Donuts will premiere its Culver City location by rolling out the pink carpet for guests, and throughout the day, attendees will enjoy free passed samples and photo opportunities with adored brand mascot, Cuppy, in front of the Dunkin’ Donuts step-and-repeat.
The location, a DD Green Achievement™ restaurant, will feature energy- and water-saving features including atmospheric LED lights, high-performance windows and low-flow faucets. DD Green Achievement, Dunkin’ Donuts’ sustainable restaurant program for U.S. restaurants, helps franchisees build new, sustainable and energy-efficient restaurants. Additional restaurant features include relaxing lounge-style seating for guests who want to eat inside and numerous seats and tables on an outdoor patio, digital menu displays and free Wi-Fi Internet access.
“We’re overwhelmed by the excitement surrounding Dunkin’ Donuts in the Los Angeles area,” said Monica Apodaca, Senior Field Marketing Manager, Dunkin’ Brands. “We’re happy to continue offering Angelenos Dunkin’ Donuts’ high-quality coffee, sandwiches and baked goods with the addition of our Culver City restaurant. We’re confident that this location will be well-received by residents and tourists alike.”
Local city dignitaries will be on-site to assist in the ceremonial grand opening ribbon cutting. The ceremony will also include a check presentation to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. In alignment with Dunkin’ Donuts’ goal to support children’s health in local communities, the restaurant will donate $1,000 to further the organization’s efforts.
The new Culver City franchise will be operated by Gary Haar, an experienced Dunkin’ Donuts and Baskin-Robbins operator for more than 10 years. The entrepreneur recently worked to bring Angelenos Southern California’s first Dunkin’ Donuts restaurant in Santa Monica last year.
“The response we received for our Santa Monica location was incredible and we’re thrilled to continue building upon the unbelievable passion for Dunkin’ Donuts in the Los Angeles area,” said Dunkin’ Donuts franchisee Gary Haar. “Our diverse menu offers something for everyone, whether it’s hot or iced coffee, lattes, frozen beverages, sandwiches or delicious baked goods.”
