a first to the market. “We really wanted something that the city didn’t already have,” he said. True to its modern facility branding, customers can get their caffeine fix a variety of tech-savvy ways, including a digital Dunkin’ on Demand kiosk right inside the doors. The Dunkin’ Donuts (DD) mobile phone app allows customers to easily browse and purchase delicious menu options from the palm of their hand and pick up their orders at a dedicated counter or in the drive-through. With the cool weather and the seasonal holidays, DD associates identify a number of favorite options on the menu, including the signature Pumpkin Spice Latte, Apple Cider Donut, Everything Stuffed Bagel Minis, Wake-Up Wraps, and Apple Fritters. In addition, the Alabaster Dunkin’ location also offers premium cold brew pours through an innovative tap system serving eight consistently cold beverages such as coffees, iced teas, cold brew coffee and nitro-infused cold brew coffee. Hand-crafted espresso drinks are made to order by coffee-connoisseur crew members. To celebrate their grand opening, Dunkin' donated $2,000 to local charity Backpack Buddies, whose mission is to help students never go hungry even when school is not in session.
