The launch date for Dunkin' Donuts' first South African restaurant has been brought forward to Thursday, 13 October at midday at the Goodwood precinct in Cape Town.

By participating in a variety of daily challenges since 29 September, Capetonians have successfully brought the launch date forward by 14 days. Rozanna Kader, marketing and communications director for Grand Foods, says that fans exceeded expectations. “In exchange for their support, we will be rewarding the first 100 people in the queue on launch day with vouchers, so get there early.

Fans will not want to miss performances by The Kiffness, Rapper Early B, rising star Derek Plaatjies and Inspired Stages. Little ones will also be entertained on the launch day with face painting and a donut-themed craft station.
