For those who can't start a day without a cup of coffee, 2012 National Coffee Day is sure to be a joyous occasion as many businesses are having deals and are even giving away free coffee at various locations. Nothing is better than free! While National Coffee Day is officially on September 29, many locations will be participating on Sept. 28,likely because a free cup of coffee is more useful to those going to work or school on a Friday than those who like to sleep in on the weekends.
Unfortunately, popular coffee chains like Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts won't be giving out free coffee this year but there are plenty of locations around the country that will have free coffee and deals.
Each store has various details and rules and not all locations are participating, so be sure to check out the store's website or give them a call before heading out to make sure that they're celebrating National Coffee Day.
Here are some stores that are participating in the event.
