Dunkin’ is Hiring 25,000 Workers As it Bounces Back from Coronavirus Pandemic

Millions of restaurant workers lose their jobs over the coronavirus pandemic. As restaurants re-open there will be openings for many jobs. One company ready to hire thousands of workers is Dunkin’.

Dunkin’ is launching its very first advertising campaign that centers on the benefits of working at its restaurants. The company has even partnered with Southern New Hampshire University to offer store employees an online college education.

“Now, as more of America opens up, Dunkin’ franchisees are seeking to hire up to 25,000 new restaurant employees at Dunkin’ locations, from front-counter to restaurant management, creating immediate jobs that offer long-term education benefits and key career skills for people all across the U.S.,” the company said.

“Dunkin’ is beginning a new partnership with Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) to offer an online college education to franchise employees, [and] launching its first-ever national advertisement campaign aimed at recruitment,” the release continued.

“Dunkin’ is committed to keeping America running and working. We are proud to support our franchisees who offer much-needed job opportunities, in a welcoming environment where people can feel appreciated and rewarded for serving both customers and their communities during this critical time,” said Stephanie Lilak, a senior vice president at Dunkin’.

Dunkin also received an upgrade from KeyBanc Capital Markets analyst Eric Gonzales who said the company has “executed well during the pandemic.” According to Gonzales, Dunkin’s same-store sales will improve relative to the fast-food category as Northeast states reopen.
