"Dunkin’ is celebrating World Teachers’ Day on October 5 by treating all educators – from pre-school teachers to college professors – to a FREE Medium Hot or Iced Coffee at Dunkin’ restaurants nationwide, no purchase required," it said. 

The company says no purchase or identification is necessary and guests are limited to one drink, with Cold Brew and Nitro Cold Brew unavailable as free coffee options.

"With Dunkin’s Fall menu, teachers and educators can spice up their free coffee order with an iconic autumn flavor, pumpkin! Available hot or iced, Dunkin’s Pumpkin Swirl is even more satisfying than a perfectly sharpened pencil," it also said. 

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) says World Teachers Day is held annually on Oct. 5.
